Tamiya TRF 416 Project

Page 1: Unboxing

The TRF 416 comes in a small box with a carrying handle like many standalone chassis. There is no box art on this kind of box, instead there is a sticker on the side with the relevant details about the model, this time without even a picture. This version of the chassis is also printed with some information on the front cover (in English). There's also a sticker bragging about Tamiya's JMRCA (Japan Model Racing Car Association) world championship win in the 1/10 electric touring class.

When the box is opened you see very little. The box looks almost empty with only a few molded plastic parts visible. Everything else is beneath the divider. Because TRF kits don't come with a body, the sticker sheet doesn't represent any particular livery. These TRF 416 stickers are unique to this model.

All of the parts are laid out on my table. I've knolled all the parts, set out the manual, and have prepared to start the build. There is a lot of aluminum and carbon here. It looks like there aren't many parts, but that's because so much hardware is consolidated in the trays.
