The Tamiya Citroen 2CV Charleston 1/10 2WD On Road Kit is a fun to drive Front Wheel Drive chassis. This bodyshell depicts the Citroen 2CV Charleston, a classic French automobile produced from 1948 to 1990. Its reliable air-cooled 2-cylinder engine got the little front wheel drive car from A to B with little fuss, and the car could accommodate 4 adults comfortably. Tamiya has faithfully reproduced the style of this classic and built it on M-05 chassis.

M-05 Chassis:
The M-05 is a simple to build front wheel drive machine, which allows for plenty of after-market parts to be outfitted as you grow with your skill. The lightweight, narrow semi-monocoque frame offers an optimized weight distribution and a low center of gravity. A ground-hugging 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and a 3-piece steering linkage ensure excellent stability during high-speed cornering. Three wheelbase lengths (S 210mm, M 225mm, L 239mm) are possible by simply switching the position of the rear suspension parts, enabling a wide range of body choices available from Tamiya.

Tamiya Citroen 2CV Charleston 1/10 2WD On Road Kit (M-05)
I have always liked the Citroen 2CV and the Tamiya kit on the M-05 chassis is a great kit and does justice to the original car. The kit requires a lot of masking and ‘decaling’ but the end result is worth it. It is a shame that I cannot upload a picture of the finished model. A-Main have become my go to source for kits and parts. Their service and shipping to Canada are both quick and costs are reasonable. I highly recommend both this kit and A-Main.
