Details and Functionalities of the Model

The Tamiya 71125 Mechanical Fish, thanks to a special gearbox and pendulum tail mechanism, allows for realistic imitation of fish movements in water. The upper part of the body acts as a float, making the dorsal fin emerge above the surface while the rest of the body submerges like a real fish. The adjustable tail fin allows you to change the direction of movement – the model can swim not only straight but also in circles by adjusting the fin angle. Additionally, the position of the pectoral fins affects the model's position and stability while swimming.

Intended Use and Difficulty Level

Tamiya 71125 Mechanical Fish is an excellent educational tool for young people, perfect for beginner modelers, parents looking for an interesting STEM project, or robotics enthusiasts. The model's construction is simple and suitable even for children from about 10 years old: building difficulty level – 2/5.
