Retro Type 2 look for M-Chassis projects

The Tamiya 51616 Volkswagen VW Type 2 T1 Body Parts Set gives a genuine retro bus appearance to M-Chassis models. Molded in 1.0mm polycarbonate, the shell offers impact resistance and keeps weight down for nimble handling on street and carpark surfaces.

Scale parts and painting aids included

This set captures the familiar 23-window layout and comes with separate molded components for bumpers, light cases and mirrors so you can add realistic touches. Marking stickers and masking stickers help speed up paint setup and keep trim lines neat.

Perfect match for 239mm wheelbase M-Chassis

Made to fit M-Chassis cars with a 239mm L wheelbase, the body provides correct proportions and mounting clearance. It is a straightforward upgrade for hobbyists wanting an authentic VW Type 2 silhouette.

Can I use this body on non-Tamiya M-Chassis kits?

Yes, it fits M-Chassis cars that use a 239mm L wheelbase regardless of brand, though you should verify post positions and trim as needed for a clean fit.

Are decals included to recreate the original windows and trim?

The kit includes marking stickers for grille and window accents plus masking stickers to protect clear areas during painting. Full decorative decal sheets are not included.

How durable is the 1.0mm shell for everyday running?

A 1.0mm polycarbonate shell offers a good compromise between flexibility and toughness for casual street and display use, but heavy impacts can still cause damage so use sensible clipping and mounting.
