Tamiya 20062 1/20 McLaren M23 1976 Monocoque Chassis V8 Plastic Model Kit  [20062]

Tamiya 1/20 McLaren M23 1976 - reissue Grand Prix plastic kit

A 1/20 scale plastic assembly kit reproducing the McLaren M23 1976, presented as a reissue within a Grand Prix model series and focused on chassis and engine detail.

The McLaren M23 was introduced in 1973 to succeed the M19 and remained a competitive car through 1976, with the M26 taking over in 1977. It contributed to McLaren's 1974 Constructors Championship and supported Drivers Championships in 1974 and 1976. Notable drivers during its run included James Hunt, Emerson Fittipaldi and Mike Hailwood, who scored a podium in 1974.

The kit reproduces the M23 body lines and structural elements including a monocoque-style chassis and the Ford-Cosworth DFV V8 as modeled components. After assembly, the front and upper body panels can be removed to reveal the engine bay and cockpit area for display. The release includes Cartograf decals, tires, metal transfers and a skirt sheet to match period appearance. The kit follows traditional plastic assembly conventions and is presented for modelers seeking detailed external and engine-bay representation.

A measured reissue aimed at builders and collectors who value external accuracy and accessible engine-bay detail for display or further finishing.
