Request Stock NotificationThe Tamiya Walking & Swimming Penguin (HC-70271) is an amphibious Construction Series model that captures the charming motion of a penguin on land and in water. Powered by a Submarine Motor Mini, it walks by swinging its body and swims using working flippers, offering a fun and engaging build from Tamiya.
How It Moves
- A link mechanism converts the motor’s rotation into coordinated leg and flipper movement.
- On land it stands on three wheels (two on the legs and a front centre wheel) and advances by gently swinging its body.
- In water it swims, with a neck float helping the head rise above the surface.
- Changing the direction of the wheels and flippers enables turning both on land and in the water.
Features
- Plastic parts can be painted for a personalised finish.
- Includes a pre-assembled Submarine Motor Mini; motor switches on when the battery cap is fully closed.
- CE-compliant design with cap lock and screw-secured battery cap; CE and WEEE marks moulded into the belly.
- Updated packaging and instruction manual with CE marking.
