Scale Tribute to the Volkswagen Beetle

The Tamiya 58383 brings the Volkswagen Beetle to life in 1/10 scale, preserving the model's unmistakable profile and mechanical simplicity. This kit appeals to those who value period detail and reliable assembly standards.

M04L Chassis and Handling Characteristics

Using the M04L monocoque chassis, the model accommodates a mid-ship type 540 motor for even weight distribution. The rear-wheel-drive arrangement with four independent double wishbone suspension units ensures stable cornering and consistent feedback on smooth surfaces.

Detailed Bodywork and Trim Options

The polycarbonate body shell reproduces the Beetle's curves faithfully, while metal-plated bumpers and mirrors supply authentic highlights that lift the model's presentation for shows or club meets.

The Tamiya 58383 Volkswagen Beetle kit is well suited to modellers seeking a faithful scale project with straightforward mechanics and appealing display potential.

The kit typically includes scale wheels and tyres suited to the body; confirm the parts list in the manual and replace with alternatives if you prefer a specific look.
Routine checks of screws, drive shafts and suspension pivots, plus occasional gear and bearing lubrication, keep the M04L running smoothly for many sessions.
Painting the interior and adding small details like dashboard decals improves realism, though the model still looks good with a carefully finished exterior alone.
