Introducing the Tamiya 1/24 Alpine Renault A110 Monte-Carlo 1971 Kit

The Tamiya 1/24 Alpine Renault A110 Monte-Carlo 1971 kit models the celebrated rally car that won Monte Carlo in 1971, offering accurate body lines and period-correct detailing. The small-scale replica is intended for builders who value historical accuracy and neat finishing.

Background and Competitive Record

Jean Rédélé refined the Renault 4CV concept into the lightweight A110 using a fiberglass-reinforced body to reduce weight and improve dynamics. The rear-mounted 956cc 4-cylinder and a competitive suspension setup helped the A110 achieve strong results on international rallies around 1971.

Assembly Notes and Visual Features

The kit presents detailed mouldings for the body, engine bay and cabin, plus decal sheets for the 1971 rally markings. Once built the model reaches 161mm in length, providing an accurate miniature suitable for shelves or club displays.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Length: 161mm
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Recommended for enhanced realism
Yes, the kit includes separate engine components to depict the rear-mounted inline 4-cylinder, suitable for painting and display under the bonnet.
The supplied decals replicate the 1971 rally livery closely, though finishing with clear coats and careful placement improves authenticity.
Yes, hobby acrylics or enamels in correct period shades give a superior finish; prime and prep surfaces for best adhesion and colour depth.
