Tamiya 47308 Volkswagen Golf Racing Group 2 Retro M-05 Kit  [47308]

Classic Touring Car Vibes Built on the M-05 Chassis

The Tamiya 47308 Volkswagen Golf Racing Group 2 faithfully reproduces the Kamei-liveried Golf Mk.1 in 1/12 scale. Its period-correct flares and race spoiler deliver a genuine vintage race look while the M-05 underpinnings provide a reliable platform for on-road running.

M-05 Chassis Characteristics and Handling

The M-05 is praised for a simple, compact layout that suits front-wheel-drive replicas. The semi-monocoque resin frame keeps the unit light yet sturdy, while careful component placement gives the model a low center of gravity for stable high-speed turns. Independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers helps deliver consistent handling across different surfaces.

Aftermarket Options and Set-Up Choices

Builders can adapt the M-05 to suit their style by swapping tyres, changing suspension parts, or fitting tuning components. The platform supports a wide selection of hop-ups, letting owners optimise grip and steering for specific tracks.

Tamiya 47308 Volkswagen Golf Racing Group 2 suits hobbyists who value a period-correct body with a chassis that is easy to tune, making it a rewarding project for both new and experienced modellers.
