Tamiya 18025 - 1/32 Jr Dash-1 Emperor Assembly Kit, Jr Chassis Mini 4WD Kit  [18025]

Tamiya 18025 - Dash-1 Emperor Jr body styling and assembly overview

This release celebrates a classic Mini 4WD shape presented in a Jr chassis package, emphasizing the Dash-1 Emperor profile with a pronounced rear wing and widened side pontoons. The shell geometry alters how the model sits on its chassis and requires attention to body clearance during the build.

Attachment points for the running gear have been updated compared with earlier editions; the wheels are now designed with hex-hole fastening to promote a firmer fit on standard axles. Packaging and labeling reflect this edition, and the assembly sequence follows traditional Mini 4WD procedures, suited to builders familiar with original-spec kits.

Aimed at hobbyists and collectors who prefer factory-original Mini 4WD releases with modest updates to materials and packaging, this kit provides the familiar Dash-1 Emperor look in a Jr chassis suitable for display or club events.
