The Tamiya 20036 Benetton Ford in 1/20 scale is a detailed plastic assembly model kit that faithfully replicates one of the most famous Formula 1 cars of the 1990s. This model is based on the Benetton Ford B192, which competed in the Formula 1 World Championship, representing the Benetton Formula team—primarily based in the United Kingdom and Italy. The car was used during the 1992 season, driven by stars such as Michael Schumacher and Martin Brundle.

In the era of Formula 1 at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, the Benetton Ford B192 was equipped with a powerful, naturally aspirated Ford HBA series engine, which played a significant role in the development of modern racing car design. The car gained recognition due to its excellent balance, innovative aerodynamic solutions, and very solid results during the season. In 1992, the B192 allowed Michael Schumacher to achieve his first career victory in F1, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the sport's history.
