Scale Replica of Shinkansen Type 923 for Display

The Tamiya 17803 Shinkansen Type 923 brings a compact but accurate replica of the famed bullet train to the Mini 4WD range. It emphasises visual fidelity and is aimed at modellers and collectors who prefer display-focused builds over track performance.

Model Styling and Construction

This release reproduces the hallmark features of the Doctor Yellow inspection train, including the streamlined nose and clean side panels. While it follows the Mini 4WD format, the overall design is optimised for display use rather than for racing on circuits.

Display Appeal for Enthusiasts

For those building transport collections, the Tamiya 17803 offers a neat, recognisable subject and a strong finish when painted and detailed correctly. Its scale and finish make it a solid choice for shelf display or modular dioramas.
