Overview
For a limited time, Tamiya brings back the 1:20 scale Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler in 1976 Japan GP form to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Tamiya's first Tyrrell F1 model. This plastic model recreates the Tyrrell P34, a car that caused a sensation with its four small front wheels and conventional rear pair.
Part of Tamiya's long-running 1:20 Grand Prix Collection, the kit captures the P34 as it appeared at the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix. It is a static display kit that requires assembly, cement and paint — it is not a radio controlled car.
