Without any doubts, Tamiya pioneered the release of 1/12 scale Formula One models on the market, and this Williams is one of the lucky candidates. The newly reedited kit features plastic and metal parts, as well as turned metal parts, an exhaustive decals sheet, rubber tyres and endless details, but it doesn't include any photoetches or tobacco decals.

Paints recommended by Tamiya / SpotModel for this product:

Frank Williams had long wanted to beat the Japanese from Honda, who abandoned him for the benefit of McLaren at the end of the 1987 season. With the Williams FW14B he got the perfect combination of chassis, engine and aerodynamics, and his design involved the “classic” Patrick Head and the innovative Adrian Newey.

Featuring active suspension, a semi-automatic gearbox and the powerful Renault V10 engine, the Williams FW14B was a compendium of cutting-edge technology.

In addition to the adoption of an electronically controlled limited slip differential, one of the most elaborate aspects was the active suspension. Adjustable from the cockpit, the system made it possible to always maintain the same height above the ground, exploiting the aerodynamics of the single-seater to the maximum. The active suspension replaces the classic shock absorbers with hydraulic cylinders, on which the suspension rods act. The hydraulic fluid maintained pressure thanks to a pump located in the upper left part of the engine. The entire system was governed by an electronic control unit that received information from the sensors installed in each of the wheels, with all the elements being duplicated to prevent the car from dragging on the ground or rising suddenly in the event of a failure.

During the 1991 season, the engine used was the Renault V10 RS3C, capable of reaching 15,000 rpm, reducing the combustion time in the cylinder chambers to a minimum. The RS4 engine made its debut in practice for the 1992 Spanish GP. Another aspect that was worked on the most for the 1992 season was improving the reliability of the semi-automatic gearbox, the true Achilles heel of the single-seater in 1991.

In 1992 Frank Williams' revenge was consummated, dominating the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships with an iron hand. Nigel Mansell achieved no less than 14 pole positions out of a possible 16 that season, winning 9 GPs and being second in another three GPs. His teammate Ricardo Patrese could never keep up with Mansell, and only achieved one pole and one victory during the year, apart from finishing in the podium on another 8 occasions, which earned him the runner-up position.
