Overview
For a limited time, Tamiya brings back the 1:12 scale Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original kit's release. This large-scale plastic model recreates the Tyrrell P34 — arguably the most radical design ever to race in Formula 1, with its four small front wheels and conventional rear pair.
The kit includes photo-etched parts to add fine scale detail that injection-molded plastic alone cannot capture. This is a static display kit that requires assembly, cement and paint; it is not a radio controlled car.
Key Features
- 1:12 large-scale plastic model kit of the Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler
- Limited reissue marking 50 years since the original kit release
- Photo-etched parts included for fine detail
- Faithful recreation of the P34's distinctive six-wheel layout
- Full assembly instructions and marking decals
Performance Benefits
- Large 1:12 scale shows far more mechanical and cockpit detail than smaller kits
- Photo-etched components give a sharper, more realistic finish than molded plastic parts
- An iconic subject that makes a striking centerpiece on a display shelf
Usage Notes
- Static plastic model kit — assembly, cement and paint are required.
- Photo-etched parts are thin and sharp; use tweezers and cut them from the fret carefully.
- Photo-etch is best attached with cyanoacrylate or epoxy rather than plastic cement.
- Test fit parts before cementing, and work through the instruction sequence in order.
- Recommended for experienced modelers due to the photo-etched detail parts.
