With the Tamiya kits, what needs to be done? Is it just painting the shell or does the chassis and motor etc need assembling?

I’m looking for something to keep my hands busy; there’s only so much bike maintenance and home DIY that can be done!

Are you referring to RC or scale kits?

They sell both, usually requiring dry assembly (RC) through clear instruction. You will also potentially need an ESC / Servos / battery and Transmitter / receiver.

You can get RTR (Ready to Run) also, but not usually Tamiya.

I should have been clearer. The RC kits.

Thanks!

I didn’t realise how big they are. 1:10!

Love the aesthetics of these*. Are they pre-painted?

*no idea what they are! Manga?

They are Gundam.

Basically cut and click together model kits.

A growing hobby over here for sure.

Kikatek and others sell most models.

The sky is the limit in terms of finish...
