Condition: Open Box Tamiya 1/12 Big Scale Series No. 21 Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler Plastic Model Kit 1221 [Product Description] A “four-wheel-front” miracle that shines brilliantly in the history of Showa-era model cars. Tamiya's flagship 1/12 Big Scale series! The legendary F1 machine, the Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler, suddenly appeared on the world Grand Prix scene in 1976 and astonished motorsport fans worldwide with its unprecedented and eccentric design featuring “four front wheels and two rear wheels.” This is Tamiya’s 1/12 scale large-scale precision plastic model assembly kit, faithfully capturing that very shock and excitement. Unlike modern reissues (such as 12036), this product is an extremely rare vintage collector’s item featuring the address of Tamiya’s headquarters at the time—“Oka, Shizuoka City”—printed on both the packaging and the instruction manual. [Highlights and Features of This Kit] Fully models the unique “front four-wheel steering mechanism” Realistically recreates the complex steering system—the car’s most striking feature—where all four small front wheels move smoothly in unison from side to side. Thanks to the rack-and-pinion mechanism, turning the steering wheel in the cockpit allows the four front wheels to change their steering angle just like the real car. Internal details can be admired even after assembly. The upper cowl, nose cowl, and rear wing can be removed even after assembly. You can take your time admiring the sturdy monocoque frame, radiator, and the structure of the precisely assembled front independent suspension at any time. The “Legendary Cosworth DFV” Reproduced Down to the Wiring and Piping The V8 “Ford Cosworth DFV Engine,” the heart of the machine, has been meticulously recreated as individual parts. From the ignition wire routing to the fuel pipe layout, it has been reproduced with extraordinary precision that pushed the limits of Tamiya’s technology at the time, boasting an overwhelming level of detail that includes auxiliary components such as the transmission. Chassis Mechanisms and Materials True to the Real Car The front and rear suspensions faithfully trace the real car’s configuration and feature built-in coil springs for smooth movement. Additionally, the distinctive racing tires—which differ in size between the front and rear—are made of synthetic rubber (hollow rubber) to realistically capture the thick, powerful texture of the era, giving the car a powerful, taut stance.
