Tamiya 84192 - McLaren MP4/5B Honda Retro F1 Kit  [84192]

Classic F1 Recreated with Tamiya 84192

The 1990 season marked a high point in Formula 1, with the McLaren MP4/5B driven to six Grand Prix wins and the championship by Ayrton Senna. Tamiya captures that era in a 1/10 scale kit that reflects the car's racing lines and period detail, giving hobbyists a faithful miniature of the original machine.

Scale Bodywork and Period Detail

The Tamiya 84192 kit reproduces the MP4/5B's aerodynamic profile using a clear polycarbonate shell, plus a dedicated sticker sheet for the period livery and separate moulded pieces for the wings and driver helmet. The F104W chassis layout places the battery lengthwise to keep the silhouette slim and responsive on track.

F104W Chassis Dynamics

The F104W platform borrows F103 front arms to match the broader stance of early 1990s F1 cars, improving stability and on-track realism. High-grip sponge tyres come fitted for better traction and a resin bumper beneath the nose helps protect the front end during close racing.

Tuning and Custom Fit

This kit is sold without an electronic speed controller, leaving room for builders to choose motor, ESC and radio gear to suit their driving style. That flexibility makes the Tamiya McLaren MP4/5B a rewarding project for collectors and racers who enjoy setup and upgrades.

For modellers who value historic race cars and enjoy hands-on setup, the Tamiya McLaren MP4/5B Honda kit delivers period accuracy and tuning potential that reward careful assembly and track testing.
