The Iron Beak Japan Cup 2026 is Tamiya's limited edition commemorating the Japan Cup 2026 series: the Iron Beak (item 18098) in a special colourway, on the same race-proven VZ chassis. The V-shaped body, flowing from the beak nose through the cockpit to the tail, is moulded in translucent smoke and dressed in blue/purple graphics, so it finishes with stickers alone and no painting. The chassis is a vivid fluorescent green-yellow.
Underneath it is mechanically the standard kit: the VZ is a compact, short-wheelbase chassis with strengthened bumper, rear stay base and propeller shaft bearing sections, a split front bumper and rear roller stay for setup freedom, low-friction 620 plastic bearings in POM, and ABS chassis and A parts. The J-CUP 2026 version adds black carbon-reinforced 12-spoke wheels on black super-hard small-diameter low-profile tyres printed with the J-CUP 2026 logo. Limited production; when it sells out it is gone.
