Scale Tribute to the MP4/5B by Tamiya

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.

Detailed Polycarbonate Shell

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.

Realistic Chassis Behavior

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.

Build, Tune, and Race

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.

Yes, use polycarbonate-specific spray paints which flex with the shell and adhere without cracking; prime the body inside-out and mask panels before spraying for best results.
With appropriate setup and tyres, the F104W chassis can be competitive in vintage or retro formula classes at club events, subject to class rules on electronics and tyres.
Keep sponge tyres clean and free of debris, store them away from sunlight and oils, and rotate or replace them when they show uneven wear to maintain consistent grip.
Many standard 1/10 components will fit, but check dimensions for items like batteries, servos and motors due to the F104W's longitudinal battery layout and compact spaces.
