The Tamiya 84194 Ferrari 643 model recreates Ferrari's 1991 F1 contender with careful attention to period details. This limited run kit celebrates the car campaigned by Alain Prost, reflecting the package that scored multiple podium finishes despite a challenging season.
The F104W chassis keeps a longitudinal battery orientation that echoes the broader F1 chassis of the era. F103-style front arms are used to preserve the look and geometry, while the rear-wheel direct drive and solid axle deliver an authentic vintage handling feel.
The kit fits ball bearings on the rear axle to reduce friction, with bushings up front. A friction rear damper with coil spring and front king-pin coil spring independent suspension provide predictable control, while foam tyres and a spur gear with integrated ball differential refine traction and steering response.
The polycarbonate body reproduces the Ferrari 643 silhouette and comes with a sticker sheet to match Alain Prost's livery. A resin bumper under the front wing adds protection for track use. Note that the electronic speed controller is not supplied, leaving room for custom electronic selections.
This Tamiya 84194 Ferrari 643 kit is ideal for modellers and drivers who value historical accuracy and hands-on setup. Its period-correct chassis and detail work give both display appeal and tunable performance on smooth surfaces.
