Grasshopper Jr. 18016 Mini 4WD Model Overview

The Tamiya 18016 Grasshopper Jr. captures a vintage Mini 4WD silhouette while keeping a build that is approachable for hobbyists. Its appeal lies in the iconic body shape and straightforward construction that makes it great for display projects.

Under the Chassis

The model uses a classic chassis layout that offers a stable platform for cosmetic upgrades or light handling changes. The shell is designed to emphasise the Grasshopper lines, making it a favourite for collectors who like a period-correct look.

Paint and Display Options

Builders can personalise the Grasshopper Jr. with paint, decals, and simple accessories to create museum-style displays or shelf-ready builds. The clear assembly steps make it suitable for those trying their first Mini 4WD project.

Will this kit fit on standard Mini 4WD tracks?

Yes, the 1/32 scale format is compatible with standard Mini 4WD tracks, though the kit is better suited to casual runs and display than serious racing.

Is the kit good for learning basic model skills?

Absolutely. The assembly is straightforward and helps new modellers learn painting, decaling, and simple fitting techniques.

Can I add aftermarket parts?

You can apply many cosmetic upgrades like wheels, stickers, and paint; for performance parts, check compatibility with Mini 4WD components before purchasing.
