Tamiya Motorised Duck kit

 

OK, this is one of my silly projects. When I saw this video, I knew I wanted to build the kit. 

A quick trip to the Plaza Japan website, followed by a three-week wait for the post, and one was mine. 

As with all Tamiya kits, the contents look impressive. Mostly plastic, but with mechanical bits in metal, and some foam parts too, there's quite a bit for your money.  

This is going to be fun.

Are you going to decorate it as Mallard?

Graham said...

What ! The blue mallard, or the feathered type ? I don’t mind which way you go but enjoy going quackers Phil

I am NOT turning it into Mallard. I am a serious modeller. :-)

I didn't want to tie Phil down to one or the other!

My first thought is turning that motor unit into something to power a simple train ferry

It would work for a paddle steamer. But we'll be using it to paddle with this model!
