The Tamiya 20058 Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler plastic model kit reproduces the unique six-wheeled Formula 1 car that competed in the 1976 racing season. This 1:20 scale kit measures 201 mm in length and 100 mm in width, accurately depicting the distinctive configuration with four front tires and two rear tires that made this vehicle historically significant. The model features a highly detailed engine with representations of ignition cables and an precisely replicated front suspension system. High-quality Cartograf decals are included to replicate both car number 3 and car number 4, along with sponsor stickers and Japanese team and driver names specific to the Japanese Grand Prix. Photo-etched stainless steel components with a thickness of 0.15 mm provide detailed radiator grille meshes, complex wing support mechanisms, wing end plates, and cockpit details including seatbelt buckles. Additional components reproduce race-specific features such as triangular mesh covers for air intakes, brake discs, rear wing supports, large rear wing plates, and front lip spoilers with mounting angles. This model depicts the vehicle as it appeared during the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji Speedway, where driver Depailler briefly led the race before finishing in second place. Assembly does not require any electrical components and is made from multi-colored plastic materials. Suitable for model-building enthusiasts with an interest in historic motorsport and detailed scale reproductions, this kit emphasizes precise engineering and authentic racing details of one of the most innovative vehicle designs in Formula 1 history.
