Tamiya Walking & Swimming Penguin

tam70259

This is a educational construction kit assembled from various materials (plastic, metal, etc.).

This Construction Series amphibious product depicts the catchy motion of a penguin. On the ground, the model moves forward by moving wheels in tandem with legs, and in the water, the model swims by moving flippers. • The link mechanism converts the rotation of the submarine motor into the motion of legs and flippers. • On the ground, the model stands on three wheels - side wheels on the legs and a front center wheel on its lower abdomen – on the ground and moves forward by swinging the body. • In the water, the model swims and gets the head out of water by the float on its neck. • Changing directions of wheels and flippers allows turning on the ground and in the water. • Plastic parts can be painted. • Includes one submarine motor. • One AAA battery is required (sold separately).
