Vintage Beetle Brought to Life in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 58383 captures the charm of the Volkswagen Beetle in a compact 1/10 representation that highlights the car's iconic profile and engineering legacy. This kit is aimed at scale enthusiasts who value faithful reproduction and solid build quality.

M04L Layout and On-Track Behaviour

Built on the M04L monocoque platform, the Tamiya 58383 places a mid-ship type 540 motor for even mass balance. The rear-wheel drive setup and independent double wishbone suspension front and rear provide composed handling and predictable feedback across smooth surfaces.

Scale-True Body and Trim

The Beetle's body shell is moulded from robust polycarbonate to mirror the vehicle's distinctive curves, while metal-plated bumpers and side mirrors deliver a realistic finish that appeals to collectors and show entrants.

The Tamiya 58383 Volkswagen Beetle is a rewarding project for scale builders and club drivers who want a historically accurate model with dependable chassis performance.

Assembly time varies by experience, but expect several evenings for careful painting and fitting, and a full weekend for a first-time builder taking extra care.
Tamiya supplies spare parts for many kits; check with your hobby retailer for chassis components, body parts, and trim pieces if repairs are needed.
Smooth or semi-slick tyres give the best traction and scale appearance on pavement and club track surfaces; pick a compound suited to the temperature and grip level.
