Plastic model car kit: Honda RA273 1:12 Tamiya 12032

A detailed plastic model kit depicting the Honda RA273 Formula 1 car, which competed in the 1966-1967 seasons. This was Honda's first design prepared for the new regulations introducing 3-liter engines. The heart of the machine was a powerful 90-degree V12 engine, which at the time was considered one of the most powerful units on the grid.

The model, in an impressive 1:12 scale, features exceptional attention to mechanical detail. The set includes photo-etched parts that allow for a realistic reproduction of brake discs, the radiator, and cockpit details. The set also includes a driver figure in a seated position.
