Scale-accurate Citroen DS Shell for MB-01 Builds

The Tamiya 51730 Citroen DS body set reproduces the iconic lines of the DS at 1/10 scale. It is intended for MB-01 M-chassis cars and suits modellers who want a faithful retro look on their chassis.

Styling, Parts and Masking

Cut from durable polycarbonate, the body keeps strength while allowing detailed paintwork. Included are metal-plated plastic bumpers and headlight pieces along with marking and masking stickers to guide accurate painting.

Chassis Compatibility and What Is Included

Designed around the MB-01 layout, this body fits a long 239mm wheelbase. The kit includes the necessary mount parts and front wide tread wheel axles to simplify the installation on supported MB-01 cars.

Do I need to trim the wheel arches for larger tyres?

Some tyre and wheel combinations will need minor arch trimming. Test-fit wheels and check clearance before final painting to avoid damage to the finish.

Can I reuse the masking stickers?

Masking stickers are generally intended for single use during the initial paint. If removed carefully they might be reusable, but adhesion and shape can degrade.

Will the metal-plated parts survive light impacts?

The metal-plated plastic trims add realism but are still plastic under the finish. They handle light bumps but can crack under hard impacts, so handle with care when installing.

Is any drilling required to attach the body?

The kit supplies attachment parts; you may need to mark and drill mounting holes on the chassis in line with the body mounting points for a secure fit.
