Retro Beetle Shell for Tamiya M Chassis

Give your Tamiya M Chassis a classic look with the Tamiya 84185 Volkswagen Beetle body set. The kit features a pre-formed polycarbonate shell that reproduces the Beetle's familiar curves while staying resilient to knocks and track wear. It is intended for hobbyists upgrading or maintaining M-04L and M-06 models with a 239mm wheelbase.

Key Features

Material: Tough polycarbonate construction for impact resistance and long service life.
Dimensions: Overall length 397mm, width 163mm, wheelbase 239mm to match long M chassis setups.
Details: Includes separately moulded mirrors and bumper components to add scale realism.
Customization: Supplied with sticker sheet and masking seals to simplify paint and trim work.
Compatibility: Specifically made for M-04L and M-06 chassis with a 239mm wheelbase.

Will this body fit other wheelbases?

This shell is cut and drilled for a 239mm wheelbase, so it will fit M-04L and M-06 long wheelbase layouts without modification. Other wheelbases will need trimming or different mounting positions.

What paint is best for the polycarbonate body?

Use lexan or polycarbonate specific spray paints for best adhesion and flexibility. The included masking seals make it easier to block out panels before spraying.

Are the mirror and bumper parts ready to attach?

Yes, the mirrors and bumper parts are separately moulded for neat fitting; they may require trimming and glue or small screws depending on your mounting method.
