The Comical Hornet 58666 brings back the charm of the original Hornet with contemporary tweaks from Tamiya. Built on the WR-02 chassis, the kit keeps the vintage silhouette while improving layout and serviceability for modern hobby use.
The WR-02 monocoque frame and inline battery arrangement help concentrate mass for steadier handling. Double wishbone suspension and a split steering tie-rod enable accurate steering feedback and controlled responses over varied terrain.
The polycarbonate body and sticker sheet echo the classic look, while orange and white two-piece wheels fitted with bubble tyres offer versatile traction. Headlight housings are supplied to accept 5mm LEDs if you choose to illuminate the model.
Assembling the kit is enjoyable for builders at different skill levels and the driver figure gives the model personality. Multiple damper mounting options let you fine tune suspension behavior to match track or off-road conditions.
The Tamiya 58666 Comical Hornet combines period-correct styling with chassis practicality, making it an appealing project for enthusiasts who enjoy building and tweaking scale models.
