The Tyrrell P34 is one of the most talked-about innovations in Formula One, instantly recognisable for its four small front wheels. Tamiya captures that engineering oddity in 1/10 scale with a release that models the car entered at the 1977 Monaco Grand Prix. This special edition blends accurate looks with a chassis designed to deliver an engaging on-track experience.
The Tamiya 47392 kit includes a pre-painted polycarbonate body that mirrors the original livery and features molded details such as the driver torso, mirrors and rear wing. Parts are laid out to simplify assembly while preserving authentic appearance, so detailing and fit feel rewarding for builders.
The model uses a modified F103-based chassis with a half double deck frame and FRP plates for strength. Its front end uses independent suspension for each of the four steerable wheels with kingpin coil springs, while the rear relies on an FRP T-bar and TRF-style damper to stabilise handling.
Power is delivered through a direct-drive arrangement where the spur gear is driven directly by the pinion, providing efficient power transfer. A ball differential gives a subtle limited-slip effect, and the included torque-tuned motor supplies spirited performance straight from the box.
The Tamiya 47392 Tyrrell P34 is a standout kit for modelers who enjoy historic race cars and unusual engineering. Its accurate bodywork and practical chassis make it appealing to both collectors and those who want to run a distinctive F1 replica on the track.
