Description
The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia debuted in 1955, combining a Volkswagen chassis with a 2+2 coupe body designed by the Italian firm Ghia and manufactured in Germany by Karmann. This 1/10 scale R/C model kit accurately recreates the elegant, low-slung car with a polycarbonate body. Separate molded parts such as metal-plated light cases, bumpers, and side mirrors add extra realism.
