The Citroen 2CV rally conversion from Tamiya brings a beloved classic into a compact rally platform. This kit keeps the iconic body character while adapting the car for active hobby use on varied surfaces.
The M-05Ra is an evolution of the M-05 platform, keeping front-wheel-drive handling but adding a narrow semi-monocoque resin frame that is resilient and light. The kit includes specific hub carriers and uprights to raise the car by 5mm, improving clearance for gravel and sealed surfaces without complicating assembly.
The polycarbonate body is crafted to reflect the original Citroen details and includes separate bumper and mirror pieces plus a detailed recovery ladder and mounting bracket. With rally block tyres fitted, the model offers a good balance between period-correct appearance and traction for rougher tracks.
Tamiya's Citroen 2CV Rally on the M-05Ra chassis is well suited for modellers who want a compact rally car with genuine scale detail and capable handling for club-level runs.
