Highlights of the Tamiya 50790 Body

Authentic Design: Sculpted to capture the Beetle profile so your model stands out in any scale lineup.
Durable Material: Polycarbonate construction offers flexibility and strength to cope with knocks.
Compatibility: Intended for a broad range of 1/10 on-road platforms; check fitment before final mounting.
Customization Ready: Comes clear to accept inside-facing paint, trims and decals for a personalised result.

Do I need to reinforce the mounting holes?

Some users add small washers or a dab of epoxy around mount holes to prevent tear-out after repeated impacts, especially if running on rough surfaces.

Can I use decals and clear coats on this body?

Decals designed for polycarbonate work well. Apply them after painting inside the shell and avoid solvent heavy clear coats that can damage flexible paints.

How do I achieve sharp paint lines on the clear shell?

Use quality masking tape, apply thin multiple coats of polycarbonate paint, and let each layer cure slightly before adding the next for crisp edges.
