Give your F104 model a 2017 F1 profile

The Tamiya 51602 1/10 Scale F104 Body Parts Set captures the clean, aerodynamic look of contemporary F1 cars. Inspired by 2017 design cues, the body features a sharp nose and pronounced side pods for an authentic race silhouette.

Key features and chassis compatibility

Made from resilient polycarbonate, this body offers a strong yet light exterior for competitive rigs. The package includes extra polycarbonate components to accommodate larger electronics. It is intended for the F104 PRO II and can be made to fit F104 Pro Version 2 and TRF 101-102 with slight modifications.

Tips for painting and customising

Use Tamiya PS polycarbonate paint for the best adhesion and colour depth on this shell. Prep the surface, apply thin coats, and remove masks once fully dry to avoid paint lifting.

The extra polycarbonate parts included help clear space for bulkier servos or receivers, but you may need to reposition internal mounts depending on your setup.
No primer is required for polycarbonate. Use Tamiya PS polycarbonate paints and apply light coats for even coverage.
Any trimming should be minimal and symmetric to avoid altering aerodynamics. Test fit before finalising cut lines.
It is designed for on-track use with performance in mind, though it also makes an accurate display piece when painted neatly.
