Faithful Bodywork and Livery

Tamiya reproduces the Mk.1 body contours and offers decals to replicate authentic sponsor signage. Builders can choose accurate paint schemes and finish the model to historic standards or personalise the look for display.

M-05 Chassis Characteristics

The M-05's semi-monocoque resin chassis is compact and user friendly, offering a low mounting position for the motor and battery. Its straightforward layout helps with routine maintenance and allows a wide range of aftermarket parts to be fitted as skills progress.
