The Tamiya 70257 Walking & Swimming Duck is an engaging addition to the STEM series, designed to offer both educational value and entertainment. This model kit captures the whimsical motion of a duck, making it a delightful project for hobbyists and collectors alike. Its dual ability to walk on land and swim in water adds an interactive dimension that enhances its appeal.
This model features a clever parallel linkage mechanism that mimics the characteristic bobbing head motion of a duck. The kit includes components made from durable materials such as white polyethylene for the body and head, and gray polypropylene for the gearbox. The submarine motor propels the model at speeds of approximately 25cm/s on land and 6.5cm/s in water, with a running time of about 1.5 hours on a single AAA battery (not included).
The Walking & Swimming Duck is designed for straightforward assembly, requiring no glue thanks to its snap-together parts and screw attachments. This makes it accessible for builders of various skill levels. Additionally, the kit comes with waterproof stickers to add character to the duck’s beak and eyes, allowing for a personalized touch.
Beyond its fun and interactive features, this model serves as an educational tool, illustrating basic mechanical principles through its movement. It's an excellent choice for those interested in hands-on learning experiences or expanding their collection of animal-themed models within the Educational Construction series.
