Heritage replica: Tamiya 1/12 Tyrrell 003 from 1971

The Tamiya 1/12 Tyrrell 003 kit recreates the 1971 Monaco GP car with meticulous attention to period detail. Modelmakers will recognise signature features such as the hammer head nose and the compact, rounded bodywork that defined the Tyrrell 003 on narrow circuits.

Significance and authentic detailing

The 003 was a milestone car for Tyrrell, evolving into a proven race winner by 1971. This kit honours that heritage with accurate body lines, an integrated front wing profile and surface detailing faithful to the original design.

Construction highlights and presentation

Assembly includes fine photo-etched parts for realistic small components, along with movable suspension and steering to enable realistic poses. The DFV engine is modelled with pipes and wiring, and Cartograf decals are supplied for a crisp finish suitable for display.

Is this kit faithful to the 1971 race specification?

Yes, the model replicates the 1971 Tyrrell 003 specification with accurate bodywork, wing treatment and DFV engine detail as seen in period photographs.

Will the photo-etched parts require special tools?

Photo-etched components benefit from fine cutters, tweezers and a folding tool. Patience and careful handling will ensure neat installation of small metal details.

How do I achieve accurate wiring and pipework on the DFV?

Use fine-gauge wire and thin tubing to match the kit diagrams, and paint with small brushes for a realistic finish. Dry fitting before final glue helps position each run neatly.
