Tamiya 58655-60A Citroen 2CV Charleston Scale M-05 Kit  [58655-60A]

Scale Icon: Tamiya Citroen 2CV Charleston Replica

The Tamiya 58655-60A recreates the Citroen 2CV Charleston in faithful 1/10 scale, pairing a sculpted polycarbonate body with the compact, front-wheel drive M-05 chassis. The kit is built to showcase the car's unique profile while remaining straightforward to assemble.

Why the 2CV Matters

Popular for its unpretentious engineering, the original Citroen 2CV was made in large numbers from the late 1940s to 1990. This model echoes the 1982 Charleston variant and includes scale details such as the front bumper mount and accurately modelled side mirrors.

Features of the M-05 Chassis

The M-05 chassis uses a slim resin semi-monocoque to house drivetrain parts efficiently, helping to centralise weight and lower roll. Its 239mm wheelbase and independent double wishbone suspension deliver predictable handling for on-road use.

Personalising Performance

Enthusiasts can fit Hop-Up Option parts to refine steering, suspension and gear ratios. The kit notes compatibility with the Tamiya TBLE-02S ESC for those choosing sensor or sensorless brushless setups, allowing a range of electronic configurations.

This Citroen 2CV Charleston kit is a strong pick for model collectors and builders who want a compact, tunable on-road model that retains classic styling and straightforward assembly.
