Tamiya 1/12 Tyrrell 003 1971 Monaco GP - Retro Formula One model

The Tamiya 1/12 Tyrrell 003 kit recreates the iconic 1971 Monaco Grand Prix car in fine scale. Enthusiasts will recognise the hammer head nose and compact bodywork that defined the Tyrrell 003 and helped it perform well on narrow street tracks.

Period design and race pedigree

This model highlights the engineering strides of the era. Tyrrell moved from Matra Ford roots to a race-winning chassis by 1971, and the 003 collected several victories that season. The kit mirrors authentic shapes including the integral front wing and rounded side panels.

Assembly notes and display potential

Builders will appreciate the inclusion of photo-etched components for delicate detail, plus movable steering and suspension for realistic posing. The DFV engine is modelled with pipes and wiring, and authentic Cartograf decals help achieve a museum-quality finish.

Yes, the kit includes step-by-step instructions for the DFV engine and wiring layout, with diagrams to help place pipes and small components accurately.

How should I preserve the finished model from dust?

A clear display case or cabinet is recommended. Use a soft brush or low-pressure air to remove dust; avoid strong cleaners on decals and painted finishes.
