Classic Touring Car Style with the Tamiya 47308-60A

The Tamiya 47308-60A captures the spirit of the Volkswagen Golf Mk.1 as raced in Group 2 events. This 1/12 scale kit reproduces the wide arches and race aero, while the supplied decal sheet helps recreate authentic sponsor artwork. The M-05 chassis underpins the build with a proven FWD setup familiar to many modders.

Detailing and Authenticity

Tamiya includes period-correct body contours and a decal pack to help you match the original race presentation. Builders can tweak paint schemes or leave a period patina if chasing a weathered race look.

M-05 Chassis Overview

The M-05 is a compact, semi-monocoque resin platform offering a low center of gravity and straightforward assembly. Its layout is friendly for those new to touring car kits and provides a sensible base for aftermarket upgrades.

On-Track Traits

With 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and a 3-piece steering linkage, the chassis is set up for consistent handling. Racing slick tyres and carefully positioned internals improve grip and balance, making the car responsive through corners.

The 3-piece steering assembly allows for setup tweaks; swapping link lengths and tie rods can refine toe and response.

Polycarbonate paints designed for RC bodies are recommended; apply in light coats and use masking tape for sharp sponsor panels.
