Tamiya 25172 McLaren MP4/8 Scale Build

The Tamiya 25172 kit brings the McLaren Ford MP4/8 to 1/20 scale with attention to the 1993 technical details that defined the car. The assembly reflects the period innovations, such as active suspension and the semi-automatic gearbox, and acknowledges the Ford HV V8 engine that powered the chassis. The MP4/8 achieved five wins in its season, making it a notable piece of F1 history for modellers to recreate.

Scale: 1/20
Material: Plastic
Assembly Type: Unassembled model kit

What tools will I need to assemble this kit?

Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, fine files, plastic cement and brushes are needed. A steady hand for small parts and some masking tape for paint lines will help achieve clean results.

Does the kit include the engine detail?

The kit represents the Ford HV V8 in scale, but some engine components may be simplified; experienced modellers can add extra detailing with aftermarket parts or scratchbuilding techniques.

How long does a typical build take?

Build time varies by skill and finish level. Expect several weekends for assembly, painting and decal work if you aim for a neat, display-worthy result.
