Overview
The Tamiya Mach Frame Philippine Cup Special Edition is a limited-edition Mini 4WD kit celebrating the Philippines' exciting Mini 4WD racing scene. This commemorative release features a stunning body design that was selected from a 2018 Mini 4WD design competition held in Japan, with a motorcycle cowl-inspired aesthetic made up of four separate innovative body components.
Built on the advanced FM-A (Front Motor Aerodynamic) chassis, this special edition kit includes two chrome-plated body sets—one in blue and one in red—allowing builders to mix and match components for a custom appearance.
