Tamiya 20053 Tyrrell P34 1977 Monaco GP 1/20 Scale Grand Prix Model Kit - authentic F1 modelling project  [20053]

Recreate the Tamiya 1/20 Tyrrell P34 from Monaco 1977

Famous for its unusual six-wheel approach, the Tyrrell P34 is an iconic bit of F1 engineering. Tamiya's 1/20 kit captures the car's distinctive profile and race-day details as seen at the 1977 Monaco Grand Prix. The model reproduces the P34's unique stance and period-correct components.

Background and period livery

Devised in the 1970s, the P34 used four small front wheels to try and improve front-end grip and airflow. The 1977 season saw the team in blue and white colours backed by First National City Bank. Drivers such as Patrick Depailler and Ronnie Peterson campaigned the car despite tyre development challenges.

Kit highlights and builder experience

This Tamiya kit includes a detailed Ford Cosworth DFV unit, a realistic gearbox, and accurate wheel assemblies. A driver figure is provided for static display, and decals cover both Depailler and Peterson liveries for historical accuracy.
