Overview of the Shining Scorpion Premium
The Tamiya Shining Scorpion Premium, model number 19436, is a 1/32 Mini 4WD kit drawn from the "Let's & Go Special" anime series. Its mix of visual flair and race-ready geometry makes it popular with both display builders and competitive racers.
Styling and Motif
The shell shows an aerodynamic silhouette inspired by high performance sports cars, with sculpted lines to cut drag and maintain stability at speed. Bright decal sheets and bold color accents nod to its anime roots while helping the car stand out on race day.
