Hit for Six 1976 saw the dawn of the P34, Tyrrell's wonderfully inventive six-wheeled car with four smaller front wheels, that backed up its looks with solid results such as an impressive one-two finish for the team at the 1976 Swedish GP. At the 1977 season-opening Argentine GP, the P34 had a fully-cowled body adorned with a blue and white livery and First National City bank as a sponsor; that car is recreated by this 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. The body is injection molded in detailed yet durable plastic, with upper cowl sections molded in white and side pontoons in blue. Stickers are included for depiction of either of Peterson's number 3 or Depailler's number 4 cars, complete with Goodyear tire logos - just apply the stickers, and the body is ready! |
