Description from the seller

Condition: Open Box

FTamiya 1/20 Grand Prix Collection No.18
1/20 Renault RE-30B Turbo
Item No: 20018
The pioneer of turbocharged F1, dominating the 1982 season with overwhelming speed.
The Renault RE-30B Turbo achieved an astonishing record in the 1982 F1 Grand Prix season: 4 race wins and 10 pole positions. Tamiya has meticulously recreated this legendary machine, driven by Alain Prost and René Arnoux, which overwhelmed rivals with the immense power of its turbo engine, in precise 1/20 scale.

【Product Features】
・Intricate Engine Reproduction:
The 1.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine is realistically modeled down to auxiliary components. Vinyl tubing is used for the ignition wires, delivering a high-quality finish.
The turbo unit, intercooler, and various pipes are also precisely reproduced, offering exceptional build satisfaction for the mechanics.
・Realistic Gimmicks:
The upper cowl is removable. Even after assembly, you can admire the meticulously reproduced internal mechanisms.
The front wheels can steer left and right. Solid rubber tires (front) and hollow rubber tires (rear) are included to enhance realism.
・Driver Figure Included:
One driver figure is included to add dynamism to your racing scenes.
・High-quality decals:
Choose to build either the specification of Alain Prost (No.15) or René Arnoux (No.16), who finished 1st and 2nd respectively at the 1982 French Grand Prix.

【Basic Specifications】
・1/20 scale
・Plastic model kit requiring assembly and painting
・Package size: Approx. 35.1 x 20.3 x 5.3 cm
・Recommended age: 15+ (Precision model for adults)

【Key Features】
This iconic machine symbolizes the era when the “Turbo Renault” shone brightest. Even in 2025, it enjoys enduring popularity among vintage F1 fans and modelers who appreciate mechanical detail. Recreate the vibrant yellow, white, and black tricolor scheme with your own hands.
