Honda RA273 - Tamiya Kitset 1/12

Tamiya Honda RA273 F1 1/12 Scale Model Kit (12032)

The Honda RA273 competed in the 1966 Formula One season, marking Honda’s entry into the new 3-litre F1 era. Powered by a 90-degree V12 engine and built around a lightweight aluminium monocoque chassis, it was driven by Richie Ginther and John Surtees, showcasing Honda’s rapid development in top-level motorsport.

This 1/12 scale model kit delivers exceptional detail, including a highly detailed V12 engine with fuel lines and ignition wiring, aluminium exhaust funnels, and working-style suspension with coil springs. The steering links to the front wheels, and removable body sections allow display of internal components. Semi-pneumatic tires with exact tread patterns add to the model's racing feel. Photo-etched parts, metal transfers, and a driver figure enhance realism.
