Fasten Your Seat Belts…

TrueScale’s 1:18 Tyrrell P34s are bringing a whole new level of high detail to market at a reasonable price point, with clever engineering, great assembly, and the types of working features savvy collectors demand. We put the models under the lens of our video rig for the first of many planned “Fly-By” segments - sixty seconds of eyes-on fun for the collectors who want to see the newest releases. You can cop the Scheckter car separately, but this pair of cars (modeling the 1-2 place Tyrrells driven by Scheckter and Depailler at Anderstorp in 1976), comes as a set. Look closely - the Depailler car is only available when you buy both. The good news? The price of under three hundred bucks for the pair is more than acceptable, given the eye-popping detail beneath the models’ skins. Fasten your seat belts - and enjoy!
