Tamiya 28502 1/35 SCALE Clic Loc FUKUISAURUS

福井龍是棲息於距今約 1 億 2000 萬年前前期白堊紀的草食恐龍，其化石於以恐龍發掘與研究著稱的福井縣勝山市出土，並完成了日本首次的全身骨骼復原。2003 年，牠被正式賦予學名「Fukuisaurus tetoriensis」，意即「福井的蜥蜴」。福井龍成體全長約 5.2 公尺，主要以二足步行，亦會以前肢輔助進行四足步行；牠以喙狀的口端摘取植物，再以發達的牙齒研磨吞食。

本套件正是「Clic Loc」恐龍系列的最新作，這一系列的最大魅力，在於具備本格派精密造形的同時，零件只需互相嵌合即可完成，完全不需要接著劑。透過精巧的零件分割與對成形技術的執著，以少量零件便能組裝出令人驚豔的實感作品，讓即使不熟悉模型組裝的朋友，也能輕鬆享受恐龍模型的樂趣。

Fukuisaurus is a herbivorous dinosaur that lived about 120 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous. Its fossils were discovered in Katsuyama, Fukui Prefecture — an area renowned for dinosaur excavation and research — and it became the first dinosaur in Japan to be restored from a complete skeleton. In 2003 it was formally given the scientific name Fukuisaurus tetoriensis, meaning “Fukui lizard”. Adults reached about 5.2 m in length. They mainly walked on two legs, but could also move on all fours using their forelimbs for support. They gripped plants with their beak-like mouths and ground them with well-developed teeth.

This kit is the latest release in the Clic Loc dinosaur series. The greatest appeal of this series is that, despite its true-to-scale, precisely crafted form, the parts simply snap together — no cement is required at all. Through clever part separation and refined molding technology, a surprisingly realistic result can be assembled from only a few parts, letting even those new to model building easily enjoy the fun of dinosaur kits.
