One of Tamiya’s most beautiful bodies ever made. Just don’t paint it box art, it deserves better. Mine is two tone, Corsa Blue with a Pearl White top.
This kit is awesome. The body is highly detailed with a lot of chrome and additional pieces. Watching this kit run draws a lot of attention from how cool the body looks. The chassis is a rear engine, RWD format. This gives you lots of traction on the rear wheels but the front will feel light when trying to steer. This kit features high quality, easy to assemble pieces that provides a few hours of entertainment for the seasoned Tamiya kit builder. I would recommend a suspension upgrade ASAP since the friction dampers from Tamiya really aren't the best.
I purchased this model a while back-nice chassis but it understeers a bit. Rear traction is superb. The body looks awesome no matter what color you paint it. A good value and a cool addition to your Tamiya collection.
An absolutely beautiful car! I painted mine metallic dark blue and used magnetic body mounts. It is one gorgeous work of RC car eye candy. :)
So I've been trying to get my wife to do more than tolerate my addiction to tiny trucks for quite a while now. She has always shared my love ov vintage Volkswagens, with her favorate being Karmann Ghias. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to push her over the edge. Guess what? She LOVES it! Tamiya has always been known as a great scale kit and this one's no exception. Everything went together without any issues and I would recommend this kit to any VW fan. Happy Wife ~ Happy Life!
All five reviews are positive, with reviewers praising the body's detail and appearance, including chrome trim and the option to paint it in various colours. Assembly is described as straightforward, and the kit is considered good value for Tamiya enthusiasts. The chassis receives mixed comments: one reviewer reports understeer and a light front end due to the rear-engine RWD layout, while another reports strong rear traction. One verified owner recommends upgrading the friction dampers. The reviews are short and the sample is small.
- + Detailed, attractive body
