Tamiya 71114 Mechanical Blowfish Educational Model Kit  [71114]

Build and Learn with the Tamiya 71114 Mechanical Blowfish

The Tamiya 71114 Mechanical Blowfish is a compact educational model that showcases mechanical motion in water. It is ideal for hobbyists and learners who want a clear view of how linkages convert rotation to tail movement.

Visible Linkage Drive

A crank and linkage rod convert the motor rotation into an oscillating tail movement that propels the fish. The clear green upper shell lets you watch the mechanism at work, while the white lower shell contains the sealed motor, gearbox, battery housing, and switch.

Intentional Waterproof Detailing

Water protection is achieved using waterproof tape and rubber O-rings at vulnerable points such as screw holes, the power switch, and the tail joint. These features reduce the chance of water reaching the electronics during use.

Adjustable Swimming Angle and Tail Trim

You can alter the swimming direction by rotating the stopper at the tail root to the left or right. The tail is easy to cut, allowing experimentation with different lengths and shapes to improve tracking and stability.
