Step Back to the 1977 Grand Prix Season

The Tamiya 12044 - 1/12 Scale Wolf WR1 1977 kit faithfully reproduces the compact racer that took victory in Argentina under Jody Scheckter. The model captures the engineering lines and racing intent of the original Walter Wolf Racing design by Harvey Postlethwaite, making it a rewarding project for builders who value period accuracy.

Detailed mechanics and functional steering

This replica is 349mm long, 164mm wide and 79mm tall, and includes working elements like coil springs on both axles and a rack and pinion steering setup. The DFV power unit is modelled with fuel lines and ignition wires to enhance the realism during assembly.

Display options with removable panels

Detachable nose and cockpit sections let you exhibit the internal detail. The pack includes Cartograf decals reflecting the 1977 Japan GP scheme, plus photo-etched components and seatbelts to improve cockpit fidelity, with synthetic rubber tyres completing the look.

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Length: 349mm
  • Width: 164mm
  • Height: 79mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: Photo-etched parts, synthetic rubber tires, Cartograf decals
The kit suits intermediate to advanced modellers due to small parts and etched metal details. Beginners can build it but should expect a detailed assembly process.
Use CA glue sparingly for photo-etched parts and a fine applicator for precision. For plastic-to-plastic joins, a liquid plastic cement provides strong bonds.
The kit contains synthetic rubber tyres that are flexible and give a realistic profile once mounted on the wheels.
