Classic F1 Replica: Tamiya 49191 - 1/10 Ferrari 312T3 F103RS

The Tamiya 49191 - 1/10 Ferrari 312T3 F103RS captures the spirit of a landmark Formula 1 car in a buildable scale model. This kit recreates the Ferrari 312T3 that raced in the 1978 Grand Prix season, showcasing the wide aerodynamic body that housed a 3-liter 12-cylinder engine and the period look driven by Carlos Reutemann and Gilles Villeneuve.

F103RS Chassis Engineering

The model sits on the F103RS chassis, valued for its lightweight half double-deck FRP frame that balances strength and agility. Front independent kingpin coil suspension and a rear FRP rigid coil spring setup deliver predictable handling on flat surfaces, while the high-efficiency ball differential provides smoother power transfer for driving precision.

Authentic Bodywork and Wheels

This kit comes with a tough resin body plus a spare clear body for custom paint schemes, enabling hobbyists to personalise finishes. The slick tires use fiber mold type A construction on both front and rear to reproduce the original track tyre look and maintain good grip on prepared surfaces.

The Tamiya 49191 - 1/10 Ferrari 312T3 F103RS is ideal for builders who enjoy period-correct road racing models and hands-on assembly. It blends scale accuracy with a chassis that rewards careful setup and smooth-running electronics.
