Condition: Open Box Tamiya 1/12 Renault RE-20 Turbo (Part No.: 12026) Description & Story This is a precision 1/12 scale plastic model kit that faithfully recreates the “Renault RE-20 Turbo,” the car that demonstrated the overwhelming speed of turbocharged F1 to the world during the 1980 F1 World Championship, driven by Jean-Pierre Jabouille and René Arnoux. The beautiful car, clad in the vibrant yellow, white, and black colors of the French national flag, has been realistically modeled. This is a rare, out-of-print kit from the early 1980s—now extremely difficult to find—that embodies the technology of Tamiya’s Big Scale Series from that era. Highlights of this kit ・An overwhelming amount of detail unique to the 1/12 scale The completed model measures 389mm in length, 184mm in width, and 114mm in height, making it a truly massive build. It faithfully reproduces the beautiful body lines characteristic of wing cars, just like the real thing. ・Unparalleled precision of the V6 twin-turbo engine Inside the removable rear cowl, the mechanics are reproduced with the same density as the real car, from the “1.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine”—a source of pride for Renault, the pioneer of turbocharged F1—to the large intercooler, complex piping, and gearbox. ・Reproduction of the Ground Effect Structure The inverted wing shape (air passage) on the underside of the side pods and the skirt structure—the true essence of the “wing cars” that took the world by storm at the time—are also meticulously modeled. ・Realistic Multi-Material Construction and Gimmicks Metal coil springs are used in the front and rear suspensions, allowing them to move just like the real car. It also features a mechanism where turning the steering wheel causes the front wheels to turn in unison. The tires are made of solid rubber with a rich texture, featuring realistic logos on the sidewalls.
