Vintage Looks with a Practical M-05 Base
The Citroen 2CV Charleston's unmistakable profile is rendered faithfully in this Tamiya kit, paired with the practical M-05 chassis. This package balances period charm with a layout engineered for easy setup and fun on fast, even surfaces.
Authentic Scale Appearance for Model Builders
Known for its long production run from 1948 to 1990, the 2CV became an icon of simple mechanical design. Tamiya recreates the Charleston's distinctive lines in durable polycarbonate, providing a convincing miniaturisation for display or driving.
M-05 Chassis Focused on Handling and Simplicity
The M-05's light, narrow design delivers a stable, front-wheel-drive experience. Its semi-monocoque resin construction reduces build complexity while keeping component access straightforward for maintenance and upgrades.
Engineered Layout for Predictable Dynamics
Strategic placement of the gearbox, motor, battery pack, receiver, servo and ESC helps the car remain well balanced in corners. The independent double wishbone suspension and three-part steering linkage give responsive handling for confident manoeuvres.
Period Wheels with Performance-Minded Tyres
The gun metal 11-spoke wheels are matched to tread-pattern radial tyres with inserts to maintain grip and stability. This combination supports accurate presentation while offering dependable traction on sealed surfaces.
