Tamiya USA has a Tyrrell 003 1971 Monaco GP release.
This release is a mix of old and new parts, more about that in the Build Blog that I will be doing as soon as the postman gets up to speed.

Riviera Legend
The Tyrrell team made their Formula One bow in 1968 using the Matra Ford and quickly achieved excellent results, with a drivers' championship for Jackie Stewart the next season.
From the 11th race of 1970 in Canada, the team debuted the in-house designed 001, which paved the way for the 003 and 002 cars piloted in 1971 by Stewart and François Cevert respectively.
While a unique integrated front wing and nose with radiator just below caught the eye, the 003 utilized an otherwise orthodox, reliable setup. Stewart achieved 6 wins in 11 races including the Monaco GP, more than enough for that season's drivers' and constructors' titles.
Now, the car is immortalized in Tamiya 1/12 scale.
★The Tyrrell 003 from the 1971 Monaco GP is recreated in magnificent 1/12 scale.
★Length: 345mm, width: 170mm, height: 70mm.
★The model expertly captures the 003's flat nose and rounded body panels. ★Steering wheel moves front wheels.
★Upper body parts can be removed after assembly.
★Movable front and rear suspension incorporates coil springs.
★Exquisite rendering of DFV engine recreates pipes and wiring.
★Photo-etched parts included to depict disc brake, radiator, fastener and seatbelt buckle parts. Metal parts capture mirror stalks.
★Comes with metal transfers to depict mirror surfaces, plus high quality Cartograf decals.
