Scaled McLaren Ford MP4/8 Replica by Tamiya 25172

The Tamiya 25172 kit recreates the McLaren Ford MP4/8 at 1/20 scale, reflecting the car's 1993 technical layout and race presence. The model highlights period technology such as active suspension and the semi-automatic transmission, with the Ford HV V8 powerplant noted in contemporary reports. The MP4/8 secured five wins that year, which makes it an appealing subject for display builds.

How accurate is the Tamiya 25172 to the real car?

Tamiya's tooling focuses on detail and proportion, so the kit captures the MP4/8s key features like the suspension layout and cockpit shape, suitable for realistic finishes when assembled carefully.

What skill level is recommended for this model?

Yes, the completed kit makes an attractive display model. You may choose aftermarket tyres or detail sets for enhanced realism, but they are not required for a solid display build.
