Tamiya 47453 1/10 RC VW Type 2 T1 Flower Power Retro Kit  [47453]

Scale Tribute to the Volkswagen Type 2 T1

Tamiya captures the iconic lines of the Volkswagen Type 2 in the 47453 1/10 kit, styled with a Flower Power motif. The model is mounted on the M-05 chassis to deliver familiar, controllable driving characteristics.

Why the M-05 Works Well

The compact M-05 monocoque design helps keep weight central and the centre of gravity low, aiding stability during spirited driving. Its 239mm wheelbase offers a balanced feel that suits both newcomers and seasoned modders.

Appearance and Included Components

The kit comes with a pre-painted polycarbonate shell in Tamiya PS-3 Light Blue and separate moulded parts for the bumper, lamp units and mirrors. An updated sticker set packed with retro artwork lets you finish the Flower Power theme to taste.

Options for Tuners

The M-05 is compatible with a broad selection of Hop-Up Option parts so you can adjust gearing, improve durability or alter handling balance. Common upgrades let owners tailor the car for brisk road running or show display.

The Tamiya 47453 Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) Flower Power kit is a fine choice for those who want period-correct styling with easy assembly and upgrade potential. It appeals to both display collectors and active drivers who appreciate classic themes.
