Overview of the Grasshopper Jr. Black Special (Tamiya 95720)

This edition pairs the classic Grasshopper Jr. silhouette with Tamiya's VZ chassis in a single-color Black Special finish. The kit targets builders who want an authentic-looking Mini 4WD build without extensive tuning work, making it straightforward to assemble and display.

The VZ chassis is compact and laid out for easy construction and accurate proportions. It features familiar mounting points that preserve the car's factory-style appearance, rather than offering a platform optimised for heavy modification or competitive upgrades.

Assembly follows the usual Tamiya approach: parts require fitting, basic cleanup and finishing. The product is particularly relevant to collectors seeking a period-correct paint scheme and to modelers after a simple, faithful Grasshopper Jr. recreation.

Scale: 1/32

Chassis: VZ chassis

The Grasshopper Jr. Black Special on the VZ chassis is best regarded as a display-friendly kit: it emphasises original styling and straightforward assembly rather than performance upgrades.

Basic modeling tools such as sprue cutters, a hobby knife, fine files and plastic cement are recommended for clean fitting and finishing of parts.
Build time varies with experience, but a straightforward assembly for an experienced hobbyist can be completed in a few hours; first-time builders should allow more time for careful fitting and painting.
If decals are supplied, use tweezers and a soft brush; apply on a smooth, gloss-prepped surface for best adhesion and finish. Follow the kit instructions for placement.
Yes. The body can be prepared, primed and repainted with compatible acrylic or lacquer model paints to achieve an alternate look.
