Scale Reproduction of the Renault RE-30B Turbo

The Tamiya 1/20 Renault RE-30B Turbo kit reproduces the 1982 Grand Prix car with attention to period detail. The model reflects the aerodynamic lines and the twin-turbo V6 character that made the RE-30B distinct on the grid.

Context and Collector Interest

The Renault RE-30B Turbo was notable for its turbocharged V6 configuration and competitive presence in 1982. This kit renders the car's essential elements for display and study by modellers who appreciate historic F1 machinery.

Build Considerations and Display Advice

The kit is designed for modellers comfortable with precision assembly; parts fit cleanly and reward careful painting and finishing. A completed model makes a fine addition to a racing collection or club display.

  • Scale: 1/20
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Unassembled kit
  • Paint and decals: Not included
The kit includes cockpit and interior components modelled to scale for visual accuracy, though they are intended for display rather than functional use.
Decals are not supplied, so modellers should source period-accurate transfers or paint markings from reference images to recreate authentic liveries.
Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, fine files, hobby knife and brushes are recommended; a magnifier and fine tweezers can help with small parts.
Yes, applying a clear varnish or lacquer after painting will protect the finish and help preserve decals, improving longevity for display.
