Vintage Type 2 styling for 239mm M-Chassis

The Tamiya 51616 Volkswagen VW Type 2 T1 Body Parts Set is a great way to give your M-Chassis car classic VW camper vibes. Constructed from 1.0mm polycarbonate, the shell stands up to regular running while staying light enough for good handling.

Complete moulded trim and painting aids

The 23-window shape is faithfully represented, and the kit supplies separate moulded plastic bumpers, light cases and side mirrors so you can build a neat, scale-correct model. Marking and masking stickers are included to make painting simpler and more precise.

Engineered for 239mm wheelbase M-Chassis

Specifically cut to fit M-Chassis layouts with a 239mm L wheelbase, this body gives reliable clearance and mounting options. It is ideal for swapping onto existing M-Chassis platforms to refresh the look.

Do I need to trim around wheel arches for my chassis?

Some chassis combinations will require light trimming at the arches or mounting points. Test fit the body before final painting to mark any clearance cuts for tyres and suspension travel.

Can I install LED lights with the supplied light cases?

Yes, the separate light cases take small LEDs or light units, but you will need to plan wiring routes and secure the electronics inside the chassis to avoid rattles and stress on the shell.

Is the set compatible with branded or custom bumpers?

The kit includes its own moulded bumpers designed for a neat fit. If you want alternative bumpers, compare mounting interfaces and be prepared to adapt or fabricate simple brackets.
