Iconic Type 2 silhouette for M-Chassis models

The Tamiya 51616 Volkswagen VW Type 2 T1 Body Parts Set offers a faithful recreation of the classic VW bus for M-Chassis cars. Fabricated in 1.0mm polycarbonate, the shell combines resilience with low mass for predictable handling on road circuits and casual freetrunning.

Scale-correct fittings and painting helpers

The set reproduces the distinctive 23-window layout and supplies separate moulded items for the bumpers, lamp housings and wing mirrors so you can achieve neat, period-correct detailing. Marking stickers and masking stickers are supplied to assist painting and protect clear sections.

Exact fit for a 239mm L wheelbase

Produced to match M-Chassis vehicles with a 239mm L wheelbase, this body is tailored to provide correct clearance and mounting positions. It is suitable for hobbyists replacing worn shells or creating an authentic VW Type 2 project car.

Is this body ready to paint straight out of the box?

The shell arrives unpainted and ready for polycarbonate paint. Use the supplied masking stickers to protect window areas and apply multiple light coats for the best finish.

Will standard M-Chassis body posts work with this shell?

Yes, most standard M-Chassis body posts are compatible, though you should test fit and, if required, move or trim mount tabs to suit your particular chassis layout.

Can I use aftermarket decals and accessories with this kit?

Aftermarket decals and accessories can be used, but check sizes and attachment methods. The included marking stickers help with basic trims, while bespoke decals will personalise the build further.
