Tyrrell P34/2 3rd Japan 1977 Depailler by Tameo Kits
Alternative version TMKTMB041 Peterson & TMS105 kit
Neither Tyrrell driver qualified particularly well in Japan but in the race Patrick Depailler climbed to third overall by the finish to give the six-wheeled P34 its final podium before it was outlawed. Ronnie Peterson wasn’t so fortunate, his car being eliminated after Villeneuve’s Ferrari hit the back of it and was launched off track. Tameo’s models capture the shape of the cars superbly and the overall standard of finish is excellent. At the front there was plenty of brake cooling with ducts on the splitter and periscope scoops fitted and the attention to detail is such that we even see the different colours of trunking used on each car to link those intakes and the brakes themselves. Both models are very limited in numbers, with 125 pieces of the Peterson car and just 77 for Depailler.
