Scale Rally Presence for M-Chassis Models

The Tamiya 51617 Citroen 2CV Rally Body Parts Set adds genuine rally styling to M-Chassis cars while using 1.0mm polycarbonate for durability and lightness. The shape is faithful to the classic 2CV rally profile, making it ideal for period recreations.

Detailed Exterior Components

Separate bumper and side mirror pieces come with modelled details such as a recovery ladder and its bracket. These fittings increase realism and are simple to attach for a tidy result.

Ready for Precision Painting

Marking and masking stickers are included to help you achieve sharp paint edges and accurate livery placement. That makes it easy to reproduce historic liveries or craft a bespoke finish.

Specifically Sized for M-Chassis

Shaped for compatibility with M-Chassis mounts and wheelbases, this body integrates with common hardware and assembly practices. It is a practical choice for restorations, display builds, or track-focused models.

Will the body accept standard M-Chassis mounting posts?

Yes, the profile is designed around typical M-Chassis post layouts, though you should check alignment and drill the shell as required to match your specific chassis.

How do I protect decals and paint after finishing?

Use a light clear coat compatible with polycarbonate paints and avoid abrasive cleaners. Proper curing between paint layers helps decals adhere and last longer during running.

Is extra reinforcement needed for impact resistance?

The 1.0mm polycarbonate offers decent impact resistance for casual racing, but builders seeking extra protection can add foam bumper pads or internal braces in high-stress zones.

Can the ladder and bracket survive rough handling?

These are scale details and are best treated as cosmetic elements. They are moulded to look authentic but may need careful handling; consider trimming or reinforcing if you expect frequent knocks.
