Tamiya TRF 419 Project

Page 1: Unboxing

The TRF 419 comes in a small box with a carrying handle like many standalone chassis. There is no box art on this kind of box, instead there is an insert on the side (folding over the bottom as shown) with the relevant details about the model, this time without even a picture. This time the box says "World Championship Team" but doesn't have any specific racing titles to brag about since the prior TRF 418 didn't win any.

When the box is opened you see very little. The box looks almost empty with only a belt and a foam bumper visible. Everything else is beneath and hidden. Yes that bubble wrap you see inside came with the model so it must be official Tamiya bubble wrap. Because TRF kits don't come with a body, the sticker sheet doesn't represent any particular livery. These TRF 419 stickers are unique to this model.

All of the parts are laid out on my table. I've knolled all the parts, set out the manual, and have prepared to start the build. There is a lot of aluminum and carbon here. It looks like there aren't many parts, but that's because so much hardware is consolidated in the bags.
