Authentic Tamiya 51608 Yaris WRC body for scale rally builds

This Tamiya 1/10 Toyota Gazoo Racing Yaris WRC body parts set offers a faithful scale representation and sturdy polycarbonate construction for modellers seeking prototype accuracy. The shell is produced to fit 190mm rally car platforms and aims to provide both good looks and practical durability.

Prototype inspired parts and finishes

The body uses vacuum-formed polycarbonate for the main shell, with separate polycarbonate detail pieces for front canards, light cases and rear bumper blocks. The rear wing and side mirrors are supplied as separate plastic mouldings to ensure finer detail and easier finishing.

Paint preparation and model compatibility

Included in the kit are a detailed sticker sheet and masking decals to aid precise painting. The body is also compatible with Tamiya 257mm TT-01, TT-02 and XV-01 chassis, giving model builders clear options for mounting across several popular platforms.

What level of skill is needed to fit and paint this body?

Intermediate hobby skills are useful - experience with trimming polycarbonate and applying decals helps, but a careful beginner can achieve good results by taking time with prep and masking.

Will the decals withstand regular outdoor running?

Decals are suitable for normal use; apply a clear coat for added protection if you run frequently in wet or abrasive conditions.

Are the moulded plastic parts paintable to match the body?

Yes, the separate plastic pieces can be painted with compatible paints. Prime and use light coats to maintain crisp detail.

Can this shell be used on different Tamiya chassis without major modification?

The shell is made for 190mm rally mounts but is also compatible with some 257mm Tamiya platforms listed in the kit details; minor trimming or repositioning of body posts may be required for alternate chassis.
