Vintage coupe body tailored for M-Chassis projects

The Tamiya 51635 - 1/10 Scale VW Karmann Ghia Polycarbonate Body Set offers M-Chassis owners a compact, classic body that captures the Karmann Ghia's smooth profile. It is created to match Tamiya's M-Chassis mounting and styling constraints.

Durable, lightweight polycarbonate design

Constructed from resilient polycarbonate, the body balances toughness and low weight. That makes it suitable for frequent driving while keeping the car responsive on the road or track.

Scale-correct plated trim pieces

Separate plated components for side mirrors, bumpers and light housings are supplied to boost realism. These parts are ready to fit and help the model achieve a convincing appearance without heavy modification.

Sticker set for neat paintwork

The included marking and masking stickers help you get precise paint edges and correct trim lines. They are handy for builders aiming for a clean, showroom-quality finish.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10 scale model
  • Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Compatibility: Compatible with 239mm wheelbase M-06L and M08L chassis

This body set is ideal for M-Chassis hobbyists who want a period-correct coupe with robust material and ready-to-fit decorative parts.

How simple is the install on an M-06L chassis?

Installation is straightforward for M-06L and M08L layouts. Use the stock body mounts as guides and trim the shell at the factory lines where necessary.

Should I apply a clear coat after painting?

For polycarbonate, a clear coat is optional. Many builders rely on the paint's finish and the stickers; if using a clear, ensure it is compatible with polycarbonate paints.

Can I swap wheels without trimming the body?

Wheel size and offset affect clearance. Minor trimming may be needed for wider tyres or deep dish wheels; test-fit wheels before final painting.

Are replacement stickers available?

Replacement sticker sets are sometimes available from hobby suppliers. Keep the original templates or scan them for backup if you plan multiple builds.
