The Benetton Ford B192 (Japanese: ベネトン フォード B192, Beneton Fōdo Bī Ichikyuni) is a Mini-F car released by Tamiya in 1993.
It was based on the Benetton B192 Formula One car that was used in the 1992 Formula One World Championship season.
General info[]
While its low-height, open-wheel body design shares many of the common features with other Mini-F cars released so far, it has the raise nose that is different from the likes of Tyrrell 020 and Jordan 191, as it deploys the vertical structure between the front spoiler/hook and the nose. Unfortunately, this is also the weak structure, as one course-out could break the structure. The bodyshell has the non-removable driver figurine.
It was mainly in yellow with green and white accents. Various sponsors, including Mobil, VIVIL and Sanyo, can be found on the bodyshell. The Camel brand logo (which presented on the real-life Benetton B192) was removed.
It was equipped with the gun metal, medium diameter Mini-F wheels paired with the Mini-F slick tires.
About the Benetton B192[]
Debuted at the European Grand Prix in the 1992 season, the Benetton B192 is a Formula One car used by the Benetton team. It supersedes the B191.
Its carbon monocoque chassis, supported by the 4-wheel independent double wishbones suspension with pushrod dampers, is very well-made and nimble. Powering the car is the 3.5 liter Ford V8 natural-aspirated engines, the HBA5 and HBA7, and were mated to a Benetton-sourced 6-speed manual gearbox. Unlike other Formula One cars at the time, it did not any driver aids.
It was replaced by the B193 in the following 1993 season.
