Years go by, and it's still spectacular. Tamiya's kit of the famous 6-wheeled Tyrrell, with its
extensively detailed Cosworth engine, its removable bodywork to reveal part of the cockpit with the pedals and the steering column, and the addition of a photo-etched plate with elements such as the
lower bracket of the spoiler or the
filter of the intake air to the engine, which was mounted specifically for the Japanese Grand Prix, continues to be a delight for the modeler, whether he is a fan of Formula 1 or not.

Tyrrell Ford P34 Six Wheels car scale model kit:
Paints recommended by Tamiya / SpotModel for this product:
The Tyrrell P34 (Project 34), also known as the "six wheeler", was a Formula 1 single-seater created by Derek Gardner, Tyrrell's lead designer in the 1970s, in response to new regulations being introduced to the 1976 Formula 1 championship.
The car used 10-inch diameter wheels and tires at the front, made especially for the single-seater, and normal wheels at the rear.
Contrary to popular belief, the idea of front tires smaller was not having less "frontal area" to reduce drag, as frontal area was still determined by the size of the rear slicks, which remained the standard size. In fact, the advantage of the six-wheel design is that it reduced the lift caused by the use of two larger front wheels, thus improving front downforce, increasing the total contact area of the front tires, and brake discs had a larger swept area.
SpotModel recommends this product exclusively for experienced professional modellers and collectors. Take appropriate precautions as this product is not a toy, it can be toxic and/or dangerous. Keep away from children. Use is not allowed for children under 14 years.
