The McLaren MP4/5B was a standout car in 1990, helping Ayrton Senna to six race wins and the world championship. Tamiya brings that heritage to the workbench with a 1/10 scale kit that mirrors the original car's profile and race livery.
The Tamiya 84192 model uses a clear polycarbonate body moulded to the MP4/5B shape, supplied with a comprehensive decal sheet and separate moulded wings and helmet to enhance scale realism. The F104W chassis layout positions the battery longitudinally to retain the model's slim silhouette.
Featuring F103-style front arms, the F104W chassis recreates the wider stance of early 90s formula cars for improved stability and cornering balance. Included high-grip sponge tyres boost traction while the resin nose bumper adds modest front-end protection.
The kit leaves ESC and motor selection to the builder, allowing personal choice of electronics to suit racing or display use. That flexibility makes the Tamiya McLaren MP4/5B a rewarding project for those who enjoy setup work and incremental upgrades.
Collectors and racers who appreciate accurate vintage racers will find the Tamiya McLaren MP4/5B Honda kit both authentic in appearance and satisfying to set up for track use.
