Tamiya 47478 Land Rover Defender 90 - Light Blue Kit Overview

The Tamiya 47478 captures the compact spirit of the 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 in a pre-painted light blue polycarbonate shell. Its detailed bodywork and scale proportions make it a rewarding build for RC fans who value realism and rugged styling.

Why the Defender 90 Endures

The Defender lineage is prized for durability and simple, functional design. The 3-door, 93-inch wheelbase layout of the 1990 Defender 90 is faithfully represented here at 1/10 scale, offering modelers a compact, maneuverable replica with authentic stance and lines.

CC-02 Chassis Performance Notes

The CC-02 platform gives this model a ladder-frame style layout that stands up to trail driving and rough surfaces. With a longitudinal motor layout, separate gearbox and transfer case, and full 4WD, the kit balances scale realism with proven mechanical robustness. The four-link rigid suspension with CVA oil dampers helps control axle movement on uneven ground.
