Tamiya 20058 - Tyrrell P34 1976 Japan GP 1/20 collector model kit  [20058]

Tamiya 20058 Tyrrell P34 1976 Japan GP w/PE - Six-Wheeled F1 Heritage

The Tyrrell P34 stands out in F1 lore as the singular six-wheeled car to race at that level. Debuting in 1975, the idea was to use smaller front tyres to sharpen turn-in and reduce aerodynamic drag. At the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix the car's blue and yellow livery made it instantly recognisable.

Kit Features and Display Options

This 1/20 scale Tamiya kit captures the Tyrrell P34 as raced in 1976. Builders will notice careful cockpit detailing and a realistic engine section. The removable top cowl reveals interior components, and included photo-etched parts add crisp detail to small assemblies.

Historical Significance and Realism

More than a model, the P34 represents a bold engineering experiment. The kit's photo-etched items, from wing elements to brake detail, increase authenticity. Two Cartograf decal sheets are included so you can replicate either the Japanese or Canadian GP liveries.
