Tamiya 47308-60A Volkswagen Golf Mk.1 Group 2 Replica M-05 Kit  [47308-60A]

Heritage Racer Recreated with the Tamiya 47308-60A

The Tamiya 47308-60A faithfully recreates the Volkswagen Golf Mk.1 that raced in Group 2 competition. At 1/12 scale this kit reproduces period bodywork and sponsor decals so modellers can build a convincing historic racer. The M-05 chassis gives a practical front-wheel-drive foundation suited to club track use and display.

Accurate Race Trim and Decals

The shell mirrors the original race car lines and the decal sheet lets you reproduce authentic sponsor graphics. Builders can customise paint and finish to match the era-correct look down to the fenders and rear spoiler.

Why the M-05 Works for This Build

The M-05 platform is appreciated for a low center of gravity and a compact resin tub that simplifies fitting of the motor, gearbox, and batteries. Its FWD arrangement is familiar to many modellers and offers predictable handling characteristics on smooth surfaces.

Track-Oriented Components

Suspension uses 4-wheel independent double wishbones paired with a 3-piece steering linkage for controlled response. Slick tyres with inserts boost grip, while the gearbox and motor placement helps centralise mass for improved cornering balance.

For enthusiasts who enjoy period models and tuning, this Tamiya kit provides an authentic canvas and an M-05 chassis that supports progressive upgrades and track testing.
