Vintage VW Type 2 T1 As a Detailed RC Kit

Bring the classic Volkswagen Type 2 back to life with Tamiya's 47453, a 1/10 scale kit that celebrates the Flower Power era. The model rides on the compact M-05 chassis to provide predictable, user-friendly handling.

Details of the M-05 Platform

The M-05 features a slim monocoque frame engineered for good weight balance and a low centre of gravity, which helps maintain stability through corners. Its 239mm wheelbase makes the setup well suited to both casual hobby runs and organised club events.

Flower Power Styling and Parts

The kit arrives with a pre-painted polycarbonate body in Tamiya PS-3 Light Blue and separate injection parts for the bumper, light cases and mirrors. A new sticker sheet with period motifs is included so you can personalise the look.

Personalisation and Performance Mods

Owners can fit many Hop-Up Option parts to the M-05 to improve acceleration, handling or durability. Common upgrades include motor swaps, suspension tweaks and gear changes to fine tune on-road behaviour.

The Tamiya 47453 Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) Flower Power kit is ideal for builders who value authentic looks and tweakable performance. It sits comfortably between display appeal and practical on-road use.

Basic modelling tools, hobby nippers and screwdrivers are sufficient for most of the build; a hobby knife and small files are handy for trimming parts and decals.
Many aftermarket wheels will fit if their hex and offset match the stock hubs; check diameter and clearance against the pre-painted body to avoid rubbing.
Clean the shell with mild soap and water, avoid strong solvents on decals, and store the body away from direct sunlight to preserve paint and stickers.
The M-05 platform can be used in club races where 2WD touring or classic classes are allowed; check class rules for permitted Hop-Up parts before entering.
