Walking and Swimming Yellow Duck Kit

Explore Tamiya's STEM Series through the Yellow Walking & Swimming Duck. This model demonstrates simple mechanical motion with a design that performs on land and in water, making it a compact educational project for hobbyists and students.

Design Highlights and Motion Rates

The cheerful yellow finish and articulated movement make the duck engaging to watch. It is designed to move at about 25cm per second on land and roughly 6.5cm per second when in water. Included components feature a submarine-type motor and waterproof stickers for the beak and eyes.

Assembly Learning and Usability

The build offers a clear introduction to mechanical concepts such as gear interaction and motion transfer. With straightforward instructions, the kit suits beginners while still offering learning value to experienced model-makers. Its two-mode capability invites experimentation across surfaces.

The kit presents a moderate, well-documented build suitable for first-time model-makers with patience; small parts require careful handling.
The motor is a sealed submarine type and needs little maintenance; after use, rinse off grit and dry the exterior, avoiding opening the sealed unit.
Customisation is common; consider light paints and additional decals, but avoid solvents near the motor housing to preserve seals.
