This assembly kit renders the Cheetah's angular, doorless design at 1/12 scale and is aimed at builders who value a believable exterior and a mechanically straightforward base. The styrene body models the original flat panels while interior items are represented to support display without extra electronics.
The chassis uses a light duralumin U-shaped plate set up for rear-driven 2WD. Battery placement is longitudinal in the centre to aid balance and the motor is mounted toward the rear. A sealed gearbox limits the risk of debris reaching the gear internals. Provision is made for a radio receiver and rear equipment trays to keep components tidy and maintain weight distribution.
The styrene body reflects the Cheetah's sharp silhouette and is supplied in a desert yellow shade. Interior fittings include a basic meter panel, seat forms and a compact fire extinguisher, plus a simple rear mesh plate. Body supports at front and rear help the completed model hold a scale look. A driver figure is included to give display context.
Four independent double wishbone corners use upper and lower H-arms with flat-mounted longitudinal metal torsion bars. The semi-pneumatic tyres feature a flat chevron tread pattern and fit three-piece wheels fixed to hubs with five screws. A duralumin front underguard is provided for added protection during handling.
This assembly kit sits between display-scale models and mechanically representative hobby builds, making it suitable for experienced modellers and collectors who want a faithful exterior and a solid mechanical platform to assemble and show. Standard radio control and power components are required to finish and operate the model.
The Tamiya 58754 Lamborghini Cheetah 2026 kit combines a faithful styrene exterior with a robust duralumin 2WD chassis, offering a practical option for modellers who prioritise scale accuracy and serviceable mechanics.
