You can buy this kit online, and on evilbay, but every one knows that this was one of the models that the original ILM guys used for a few of the original trilogy ships, and the speeder bike shell. So getting that for a decent price will be hard.

One more source for decal:

http://www.hiroboy.com/112_Tyrrell_P34_6_wheeler_Full_decal_1976_--product--6148.html

These are screen printed versus Indycal's Alps printed, so they are like regular decals that come with kits.  I also scored an old 1/12 P34 which had hosed decals, so I might give Hiroboy a try.

The instructions on Hobby Search are kind of low-res, so if you need a better scan, PM me and I can scan mine.

If you have or setup a photobucket account, I can get you posting pics fairly quickly.  I do mine with windows 7 and PB.  Tripped over an easy way.  And I'm an old really non-puter literate bodyman who is lucky to find his email.

No worries on the pix Mr. Baily, many folks have tried to walk me through it only to find out yes my head is that thick and thank goodness the wires are so small cause if they were here they may choke me LOL. It's all good and thank you again I just printed the instructions and ordered my decals.

Thank you Mr. Baily, the links are a tremendous help. I will try to figure out how to post pix, many people have posted toots and step by steps but the skill still escapes me. Some folks just can't be taught. Thank you again for the links sir.

Here are the instructions for the 1/12 kit (the more recent kit with PE).  Unfortunetly the older kit on the site didn't have instructions

Here are the 1/20 scale-they may be of some help.

Here is a source for decals-

Hope this helps-looking forward to seeing posts of your build

At a recent model contest I came across what I consider the deal of a lifetime for me. I found and now own a 1/12 scale Tamyia Tyrell P34 six wheeler. The kit has always been just out of reach my entire modeling life whether for price or availability but now I have one, and I want to build it. The challenge remaining for this is the kit has no instructions or decals. I plan on contacting Tamiya during business hours to see if they can provide me with what I need however if anyone here can add any different avenues it would be helpful. Thanks for letting me bost. Happy modeling.
