Tamiya 47486 - Classic Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler Model Kit  [47486]

Classic F1 Oddity Rendered by Tamiya 47486

For aficionados of historic Grand Prix cars, the Tamiya 47486 Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler 1977 Argentine GP Limited Edition captures a standout chapter of F1 innovation. This 1/10 scale kit highlights the P34's unusual six-wheel arrangement and period details for model enthusiasts.

What Set the P34 Apart in 1977

The P34 experimented with four small front wheels to boost front traction and reduce lift. The 1977 Argentine GP example featured a full cowl body, a detail that distinguishes this version and is accurately represented in Tamiya's scale replica.

Platform Features and Running Behaviour

This kit is based on the F103 chassis, chosen for its ease of use and tidy layout. Though mechanically a 2WD setup, the extra front wheels affect steering dynamics. The RS-540 Sports Tuned Motor offers adequate punch, and sponge tyres contribute to steady grip on various surfaces.

Tips for Building and Tailoring Performance

Builders can modify gearing, select paints from the Tamiya TS range, and adjust suspension to suit display or running priorities. Clear instructions assist both neat assembly and progressive tuning.

Whether restored for show or set up for nostalgic track outings, the Tamiya Tyrrell P34 delivers a satisfying build with authentic period character for serious collectors.
