Collector kit: Tamiya 20058 Tyrrell P34 1976 Japan GP 1/20 scale model  [20058]

Tamiya 20058 Tyrrell P34 1976 Japan GP w/PE - Classic Six-Wheeler Recreated

The Tyrrell P34 occupies a rare spot in Formula 1 history as the only six-wheeled contender to race at the top level. Launched in 1975, the concept used smaller front tyres to boost front-end grip and braking without increasing frontal area. The 1976 Japanese Grand Prix livery in blue with yellow highlights remains one of the car's most recognisable looks.

Model Overview and Build Appeal

This Tamiya 1/20 scale kit faithfully recreates the Tyrrell P34 as seen at the 1976 Japan GP. Model builders will value the fine cockpit work and the detailed engine bay. The upper cowl can be removed to display interior detail, and the set includes photo-etched parts to lift the realism of small components.

Historical Significance and Realism

The Tyrrell P34 is both a technical milestone and a display subject for collectors. Photo-etched items like the rear wing details, brake discs, and intake elements add authenticity. Two Cartograf decal sheets are supplied so builders can choose either the Japanese or Canadian GP presentation.
