Period Accurate Replica: Tamiya 49191 - 1/10 Ferrari 312T3 F103RS

The Tamiya 49191 - 1/10 Ferrari 312T3 F103RS reproduces a notable Formula 1 car from the 1978 season with scale accuracy.

Chassis and Handling Details

Built on the F103RS half double-deck FRP chassis, this kit emphasises a lightweight layout and robust construction. The front independent kingpin coil suspension and rear FRP rigid coil spring setup give predictable behaviour on prepared surfaces, and the ball differential helps moderate torque transfer for smoother acceleration.

Finish, Bodies and Tyres

Included are a tough resin finished body and an extra clear body for custom paint work. The set of slick tyres uses fibre mould type A material to mirror period tyre appearance while providing usable traction for display and running.

The Tamiya 49191 - 1/10 Ferrari 312T3 F103RS appeals to modellers after authentic historic race cars and a chassis that responds well to careful setup and modern electronics choices.
