Tamiya 70264 Walking Tyrannosaurus

田宮 70264 步行暴龍 木製教育模型

Here come renewals of Item 70089 Walking Tyrannosaurus and Item 70088 Walking Triceratops in the Educational Construction Series. Both Items 70089 and 70088 were originally released in 1993. It has been 28 years since we released our last Educational Construction Series kit using wooden parts. Metal gearbox and parts are changed to the assembled plastic gearbox (featuring built-in motor with cables) and plastic parts for safe and ease of assembly. Transparent plastics offers visibility of mechanism. How about adding these dinosaurs’ kits – which even kids and beginners can assemble without hassle – to your Educational Construction collections?
