Tamiya Volkswagen Golf Mk1, Racing Group 2 on the M-05 Chassis

[@DustyFingersRC]

What a kit, I used have the real MK1, MK2 and MK3 so this really appeals to me. I hear there are some more being released at the end of the year. I hope to get one and if I do I will leave each coat a week before I dare mask over the paint ready for the next colour.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic my friend 🤩 Haha yeah I think I’ll do the same when I’m doing mine 🤣👊🏻

[@kashmurray1199]

That is a serious paint job. My Goodness.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I totally didn’t expect what I found Kash lol 😂

[@kashmurray1199]

It will be awesome.

[@Andym1159]

Absolutely stoked to see you doing the Golf I’ve one waiting to do and I’m going to attempt box art..😊 . Can’t wait to see you do yours I’m sure you’ll do her proud 💯😎

[@rcicons4915]

Enjoy the car buddy

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Keith 😍 I’ve seen Tamiya are doing another run of these, hence why I’ve posted this video up earlier than scheduled 😅 Thought it would be cool so people can see the work involved in the shell 🙊🙊🙊

[@rcicons4915]

I am definitely getting another one to do that paint you showed. Unreal look. I just got the original Renault turbo 5 and I am thinking about getting the M05 version of that one to.

[@scaleworksRC]

Oh wow. I knew this car could look better with a different livery, and there it is!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Something about a Rabbit/Gulf that I Love. I dunno what it is about these boxy little things but they’re cool

[@TAMIYALegends]

Totally agree with you 😎👊🏻

[@alanmorris8783]

My brother had one of the F2 racing cars and it was so simple with the pressed metal chassis. It was mental fast with even a 6V battery and he spent more time saving up for new bumpers than driving it! Very simple diff and an aluminium gear that used to melt before your eyes, they were so soft. Great laugh though.

[@TAMIYALegends]

So cool you got to drive one Alan 🤩👊🏻

[@owenbuttle3304]

Looking forward to this one Glenn!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Owen as soon as I’m back up and running it’ll be the TD2 build so we can get your new shell out there 😅👊🏻

[@andrewsenior2260]

Great video Glenn, looking forward to the paint job! Its funny how a global pandemic can create a demand & send prices sky high. I remember pre pandemic, these kits were €99 from Tamico.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah totally it’s crazy my friend 🤯👊🏻

[@stewartlewis3503]

Thanks RC Icons! Never knew about the orginal, I guess the numbers don't add up for a re re. That body looks to be, for me at least, one of those starting off with high standards but ending up with a "better done than perfect". Good luck!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Hey thanks for watching Stewart 😊👊🏻

[@andrewmagro7703]

This Will be a awesome build especially the fine paint and all that detail , you will no doubt knock it out the park as you do with previous builds Glenn, Awesome stuff Bud :-))

Thanks Andrew I’m in no rush to start this one 🤣👊🏻

[@-Dash-]

Excellent! Make sure you show us footage of the paint job!

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Cool looking bodyshell, and the M05 chassis is pretty easy to build, and a shedload of fun to drive. Awesome video as always!!

[@tallpaul1269]

I just built mine. The paint job was a lot of work, and no window masks either. Very satisfying once done though.

[@mad-beerc3818]

This paint job has me hidding behind the sofa Glenn! If ever you wanted a tamiya pre painted shell its this one! Great little kit though but l do agree l would love to see some tamiya rere truly more like the actual originals but l for one love rere cars though and am so grateful tamiya started doing them! I was very sceptical at first when tamiya rere the XR311 back in 2000 but rere cars have worked in all aspects ever since! Tamiya got it right! and thats it mate as you said an original will always be an original! Cheers pal.😉👍

[@stephenmattinson6892]

BOX ART !!! Has to be. I think it’s 1/12 scale same as Renault 5 turbo when next to 1/10 gives correct scale. Old school classic. Thanks for throwing glen under the bus to paint that shell 😂 Keith. Seeing that there is no decals to hide lines 🤯 could be time to try liquid mask ? The bleeding on all those tape lines 😫

G'day mate great little chassis M05 i've got a M05 Pro chassis with the see through shocks and all the blue bits. After seeing old mates car Tamiya legend paint scheme but I don't know you probably have a few already. It will be a challenge what ever you do with it happy R/C'n mate👍👍

Rear wide axle-mod+ martini racing. Who doesn't love a martini? In Winston Churchill's word's; start pouring the Gin, while giving the vermouth bottle a stern look. Stir and serve.

Awesome Glenn yeah go box art 🤩🚴

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Pete, should be an interesting one for sure 😅👊🏻

[@michaelthomas8981]

I bought mine for £89. Then paid a pro painter to paint it. No way was I attempting that ! Also you will need to do the wide rear axle mod or the rear tyres will be way to far into the arches.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Oh fantastic information Michael, thanks for sharing this with us my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@michaelandrew4488]

This Golf and the Renault5 Turbo are pretty well "must have"🙂 I think.

[@alexwenzel6932]

Love to see what you do with this one ! Just picked up the same kit and debating when to start and what colors to go with.

[@countmurcielago9802]

Have you ever been contacted from Tamiya do you know if anyone from there follow your channel Glen If so it would be nice to see rere of the flat metal chassis 👍👍😀

[@TAMIYALegends]

I very much doubt Tamiya know I exist tbh, which kinda sucks as I’m pretty certain I’m good for there sales 🙊

[@sgrichardson]

I have the orginal to restore. So I am going to wait until I have seen you do the body :)

[@TAMIYALegends]

Oh wow an Original 🤩👊🏻

[@johnrobertgordon]

You should use masking fluid. It would make this much easier and super crisp clean lines.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah never tried it, I really should try the liquid mask at some point 😅

[@schuttrostig5729]

on all the straight lines of this kit i would try to tape it, but yes, its a total nightmare.

[@FullOnRC]

Goof Luck Glenn. I have a 2cv M05 to do for Steph. That is just three colors and I'm struggling to get it started. I'm sure you will nail this.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Paul 😎👊🏻

[@schuttrostig5729]

Love the kit, the golf looks absolutely fantastique. There is 2 things buyers should be aware of: The body is made for 55mm wheel. Eaven that is a tight fit, gets better when they are worn down to 54mm. The Normal M-Chassis 60mm wheels do not fit - and due to the bodey shape its not possible to cut the wheel wells bigger. The second thing is of course the M-05 well known: only round stick packs fit. Square packs only if you swap to the v2 chassis.

[@peterjohnson2245]

Original was in 81... You got to get this one done this year... 41yrs later

[@tonygregg6957]

I saw this was being rereleased sometime this year and quite fancy one, but that paint job is scary.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Haha you’re not wrong Tony 🤣👊🏻

[@captainkidd1329]

I would love to see a Re-release of the original, like the scorcher and I love it. They dont make em like they used to, and they dont do that because it would be expensive. The scorcher was close to 400 and went up of course to 408, so thats why it also is an unknown. PS. im glad to hear that im not the only man that thinks things are cute other than women hehe.

[@alexbean311]

hi there, what is the approximate build time for a beginner?

[@jasonsrcstuff9278]

Does the XR311 count as a rere on original plate chassis?

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah that’s the only one they’ve done that’s similar to the early 58’s 🤩

[@lrmbvv]

these are up for pre-order, looks like 210mm wheelbase, been working on M08 concept chassis, but you can't beat the friction shock bounce of these, M- class

[@carlbudd341]

I've decided I want the tamiya audi quatro 1/10 as the MK 2 escort going for silly money and the short chassis?what you think .

[@martinhsrc6699]

Totally agree, I don’t think rere affect the value of originals. Collectors will always want originals

[@jonthomas8487]

Given the Lamborghini Countach is such a unicorn I’d be totally ok if they brought a version maybe the later model Countach with the aero package on an M08 or other simple chassis with a differential. I’m not into getting mad at Re-Re’s but understand if they brought a true re-Re Countach but if they did the 1985 ish one with the wing it’d be fine.

[@jonthomas8487]

For masking maybe use Tamiya/Nitto white tape to brush the liquid mask

There were some lovely Mk1 racing liveries back in the day, including one from Martini. Maybe you could do one of your tribute cars using decals from one of the Lancia kits. You could have a Delta, 037 and Golf in the same livery. There is also a picture of the real box art car on Pinterest.
