Tamiya 20058 - Tyrrell P34 1976 Japan GP w/PE: Iconic F1 Model

The Tyrrell P34 is a standout chapter in F1 history as the only six-wheeled competitor to race in the championship. Introduced in 1975, its small front wheels aimed to improve cornering stability and braking without enlarging the frontal area. The 1976 Japanese GP livery with blue and yellow livery remains instantly recognisable to fans.

What This Kit Delivers

This Tamiya 1/20 scale reproduction presents the Tyrrell P34 as it appeared at the 1976 Japan GP. Builders will find precise cockpit parts and an engine layout that rewards careful painting. The top cowl removes for display, and photo-etched parts are supplied to enhance the finer details.

Historical Significance and Realism

The P34 is both a technical curiosity and a display piece for any collection. Photo-etched components such as wing details and brake parts help achieve accurate scale realism. The kit includes two Cartograf decal sheets so you can build either the Japanese or Canadian GP scheme.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/20
  • Material: Plastic with photo-etched parts
  • Features: Removable upper cowl, detailed cockpit and engine
  • Decals: Cartograf for Japanese & Canadian GP versions

Is special paint required for authentic finish?

No special brand is required, but use fine-grain acrylic or enamel paints and thin coats for even coverage. Masking the yellow accents carefully will help match the original livery.

Will the removable cowl affect display stability?

The removable upper cowl is designed for display flexibility. Fit it securely for a static display, and consider adding a small locating pin or light adhesive if you want extra hold.

Can I customise the model beyond the included decals?

Yes, builders often add weathering, custom sponsor markings, or substituted metal parts. Keep in mind any changes should respect the kit's scale and proportions.
