Tamiya 9805020 Hornet Body - 1/10 Scale Overview

The Tamiya 9805020 Hornet Body with Wing is a clear polycarbonate shell intended as a replacement or styling update for 1/10 off-road vehicles. Its lightweight construction helps retain agility while offering good resistance to knocks and scrapes.

Construction and Suitability

Specifically sized for 1/10 scale off-road models, the body arrives clear and protected by an overspray film for painting. Remove that protective layer before applying any stickers to ensure a clean finish.

Finishing and Accessories

Ideal for a fresh paint scheme, this set includes the main body and wing; finishing touches like window masks, decals and mirrors are available separately. Use sharp trimming tools and masking tape to achieve tidy edges and accurate panel lines.

Allow paint to fully dry to the touch and preferably cure overnight before peeling the overspray film to avoid lifting paint edges.
Many older Hornet chassis accept this shell, but you should check post locations and wheel arches. Minor trimming or slotting may be required for a perfect fit.
Window masks make painting cleaner and save time on trimming. They are recommended for crisp, professional looking windows.
Ensure the paint is fully cured, then apply decals to a clean surface. Use a soft cloth to press out bubbles and a decal solvent if needed for complex curves.
Use firm but not over-tightened fasteners and consider small rubber washers or thread-lock for screw-fit wings to reduce vibration and loosening.
