This kit of the Tyrrell P34 provides superb detail, including the engine. The upper cowl can be removed to view the highly detailed cockpit. Adding greater realism to the model are photo-etched parts which accurately depict the rearwing, brake discs, seatbelts, air intake box, and much more. Two sets of top quality cartograf decals are included to depict either the Japanese or Canadian GP machines. Detailed assembly instructions are included.
Arguably the most radical design ever to compete in Formula 1, the Tyrrell P34 caused a sensation when it was revealed to the public. The car's designer, Derek Gardner, wanted to reduce drag by making the frontal area smaller, so instead of two normal-sized tires he used four small diameter tires that could be steered together. This also meant that the tires would be shrouded by the nose, further reducing drag. Making its debut at the 1976 Spanish GP, the car proved to be competitive, and it reached the pinnacle of its success with drivers Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler finishing 1st and 2nd respectively at the Swedish GP.
