The Tyrrell P34 stands out in F1 history thanks to its unconventional front-wheel arrangement. Tamiya reproduces that bold concept in this 1/10 scale kit, modelled after the car campaigned in the 1977 Monaco Grand Prix. The release balances accurate styling with practical buildability for hobby racers.
The kit's pre-painted polycarbonate body mirrors period graphics and includes molded items like the driver torso, mirrors and rear wing for realism. Components are organised for a logical assembly flow, letting builders focus on fit and finishing rather than chasing parts.
Built around a modified F103 chassis, the model uses a half double deck with FRP plates to reinforce the frame. Each of the four front wheels has independent steering controlled by a kingpin coil spring arrangement, while the rear benefits from an FRP T-bar linked to a TRF damper for stable cornering.
The direct-drive configuration connects the spur directly to the pinion for straightforward power transfer. A ball differential offers controlled slip for traction, and the torque-tuned motor gives lively acceleration suitable for club-level runs.
For those who enjoy classic racing models, the Tamiya 47392 Tyrrell P34 offers a satisfying build and distinctive on-track behaviour. Its accurate body and thoughtfully arranged chassis make it a good pick for collectors and competitive hobbyists alike.
