Fit a Retro Alpine A110 Body to Your M-Chassis

The Tamiya 51420 Alpine A110 body set recreates the retro rally lines of the A110 in polycarbonate for M-chassis models. It comes with separately moulded mirror parts and light cases, and is prepared for a 210mm short wheelbase layout to suit period-correct builds.

Features and Compatibility Details

Material: Resilient polycarbonate designed to take knocks while remaining light on the chassis.
Compatibility: Cuts and mount points match the Tamiya M-05 platform and many other M-chassis that use a 210mm wheelbase.
Design Elements: Includes separate mirror pieces and dedicated light housings for added scale fidelity.
Wheelbase: Intended for a 210mm short wheelbase configuration used by compact M-class models.

Can I fit LEDs to the light cases provided?

Yes, the separate light cases allow space for small LEDs, though you should plan wiring channels and test fit before final painting.

Will the original decals suit period liveries?

The included sticker sheet typically covers common rally markings, but many builders add aftermarket decals for more authentic period liveries.

How much trimming is usually required for tyres?

Trimming depends on wheel offset and tyre width; for track use you may need to remove small amounts of inner arch material to prevent rubbing with wider tyres.

Is reinforcement needed for competitive use?

For regular club racing, the polycarbonate performs well, but racers often add inner bracing or a support plate in high-stress zones for extra durability.

Can I swap this onto a touring car chassis?

This body is cut for M-chassis dimensions and a 210mm wheelbase, so it is not suitable for standard touring car layouts without major modification.
