The Citroen 2CV Charleston has a distinct, memorable profile and Tamiya captures that in a finely proportioned polycarbonate body. Built on the versatile M-05 chassis, this kit offers an appealing mix of period-correct styling and straightforward mechanical layout.
Produced from 1948 until 1990, the 2CV is recognised for its unpretentious engineering and unique looks. Tamiya recreates those traits at 1/10 scale, producing a body that reflects the original car's silhouette and charm.
The M-05 chassis is designed around a lightweight, narrow form factor that supports front-wheel-drive dynamics. Its semi-monocoque resin construction simplifies assembly and provides easy access for routine maintenance.
Careful distribution of the gearbox, motor, battery pack, receiver, servo and ESC helps the model remain well balanced. The independent double wishbone suspension on all wheels and a three-piece steering linkage combine to give reliable steering and cornering behaviour.
The gun metal 11-spoke wheels and tread-patterned radial tyres with inserts replicate the era while delivering usable grip. This combination supports both show quality and dependable performance on smooth surfaces.
The Tamiya Citroen 2CV Charleston is well suited to hobbyists who want a historically faithful model that is also a pleasure to drive and maintain on smooth circuits.
