The Tamiya 58655-60A kit recreates the beloved Citroen 2CV Charleston in 1/10 scale, pairing a finely detailed polycarbonate shell with Tamiya's compact M-05 chassis for an authentic drive experience. The model captures the car's silhouette and period details while remaining approachable for model builders.
The Citroen 2CV earned its place in automotive history with simple engineering and broad appeal, selling in the millions between 1948 and 1990. This kit reflects the 1982 Charleston styling, with carefully modelled touches such as the front bumper support and side mirrors to mirror the original car's character.
The M-05 platform delivers a narrow, lightweight layout tailored to front-wheel drive models. Its semi-monocoque resin layout secures the gearbox and motor while helping centralize mass and lower the center of gravity. With a 239mm wheelbase and fully independent double wishbone suspension, the chassis balances nimble handling and stability on paved surfaces.
Builders can personalise the M-05 with a wide selection of Hop-Up Option parts to tune gearing, steering response and ride characteristics. The kit references compatibility with the Tamiya TBLE-02S ESC for those using brushless or brushed setups, giving flexibility when selecting electronics.
Whether you collect classic cars or enjoy scale day driving, this Citroen 2CV Charleston kit blends historic appeal with a reliable, tuneable chassis that suits on-road scale running and display.
