Accurate 1/12 Scale Renault RE-20 Turbo Model

The Tamiya 12033 Renault RE-20 Turbo reproduces the look and engineering of Renault's turbo F1 car in a detailed 1/12 scale. This kit recalls the RE-20 that performed strongly at the 1980 Brazilian, South African and Austrian Grands Prix and mirrors the V-6, 1.5-litre twin-turbo engine estimated at 520 horsepower. Photo-etched parts are supplied to improve the realism of the radiator, intercooler, oil cooler and brake discs.

Period Aerodynamics and Build Interaction

The RE-20's aerodynamic package included inverted rear wings and side skirts to exploit ground effect. Tamiya's kit recreates those features and adds movable side skirts, semi-pneumatic rubber tyres and steerable front wheels to keep the build engaging. The detachable cowling exposes the turbocharged six-cylinder for painting and display options.

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Engine: Turbocharged 6-cylinder
  • Features: Movable side skirts, steerable front wheels
  • Tires: Semi-pneumatic rubber
  • Includes: Photo-etched parts

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

This is better suited to modellers with some experience due to small parts and photo-etched components; beginners may still build it with patience and basic modelling tools.

Will the model include detailed engine components?

Yes, the removable cowling and detailed sections allow access to the turbocharged six-cylinder area for painting and display.

Can moving parts be fixed in place?

If you prefer a static display, movable skirts and steering links can be secured during final assembly to lock them into a chosen position.

Any tips for handling photo-etched parts?

Work over a tray to catch small parts, use fine tweezers and fold or shape etches carefully using a dedicated bending tool or flat pliers to avoid kinks.
