The launching of the P34
It is well known that at SpotModel we do everything possible to incorporate the best and biggest amount of information possible in the description of the products we offer, because not only we LOVE building scale models: we also LOVE the world of motors and their history, even if sometimes we have made mistakes in the interpretation of a certain event. And the thing is, who hasn't made a mistake every now and then? XD
One of our passionate, expert and focused clients recently told us about his knowledge and experiences, giving his two cents to one of the latest references launched by Studio27, the transkit of the Tyrrell P34 in 1/20 scale for the Tamiya scale model. So the question is: when did the P34 debut? Do you have to take as a landmark the first official GP in which it raced or the first time it participated in an event, even if that event was not officially scoring?
Jody Scheckter first got behind the wheel of the P34 at the 1976 BRDC International Trophy held at Silverstone. In fact, when searching for pictures, it is usual to find pictures of Jody in the P34, interpreting that the third place he achieved in this race was with this car. But this is when our expert customers show all their knowledge and guide us towards what really happened, and that is that due to a lack of confidence with the new model just presented, Scheckter finally raced with the usual Tyrrell 007, leaving the official racing debut of the P34 for the next event, the 1976 Spanish Grand Prix held at the Jarama circuit. And another very interesting fact is that the Tyrrell P34 presented at Silverstone is the only one that was fitted with the high air intake, since they were forbidden precisely from the Spanish GP onwards.
The moral of the story? If the car shows a high air intake in a picture, it will be before May 1976, which is the version of the Studio27 transkit.
