Build the Wolf WR1 from the 1977 Formula One Season

The Tamiya 12044 - 1/12 Scale Wolf WR1 1977 model kit offers a faithful scale representation of the Walter Wolf Racing entry that achieved early-season success with Jody Scheckter at the wheel. The kit reproduces the WR1s compact engineering and period styling for modellers focused on classic Grand Prix subjects.

Accurate engine and suspension reproduction

The model measures 349mm long by 164mm wide and 79mm tall, and includes functioning coil spring suspension on both axles plus a rack and pinion steering mechanism. The DFV engine is modelled with fuel lines and ignition leads to reproduce the look of the original power unit.

Detailed cockpit and decal-authentic livery

Removable front and cockpit panels expose internal assemblies for display. The kit contains Cartograf decals matching the 1977 Japan GP scheme, as well as photo-etched parts and seatbelts for added cockpit authenticity, and synthetic rubber tyres to finish the model.

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Length: 349mm
  • Width: 164mm
  • Height: 79mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: Photo-etched parts, synthetic rubber tires, Cartograf decals

What finishing techniques suit this classic racer?

Use fine-grade sanding and thin coats of model paint to preserve panel lines, and consider a satin or gloss clear coat to match period presentation.

Does the kit require aftermarket parts to enhance realism?

The kit includes many detailed parts, but modellers sometimes add wiring, finer hoses or resin upgrades to increase realism depending on their display goals.

How should I store the completed model to avoid damage?

Keep the finished model in a dust-free case away from direct sunlight and fluctuating temperatures to protect paint and decals over the long term.
