On March 2, 2019, the “Auto Modeler’s Gathering in Yokohama 2019” was held at the Yokohama Plant Guest Hall in Nissan Motor in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. This event began in 2012 with the aim of deepening interaction between model car enthusiasts, “Nissan Automotive Technology Modeler’s Club (NATMC)”, an in-house club of Nissan Group’s vehicle development company Nissan Automotive Technology . If it is a model of peaceful use car (regardless of the number of wheels), it is OK for participation regardless of scale or material, no participation reservation or cost is required. We brought the work of the day and exhibited it, and modelers talked to each other for a model consultation. It is a unique event where the low level of threshold that anyone can easily participate and the height of the level where the participants also have a promeller are living together. Let’s introduce about the model of the road car in the first part, among about 1000 works exhibited by participants who counted about 300 people.

GridOto.com – Relying on the future rally concept with gadgets is indeed a differentiator for the Honda Adventure Days 2019 event with other events.
Participants must follow the waypoint and there are no boundaries. But because this is not an official competition, for those who still want to relax while fun is also not a problem.
Roughly I want an hour of coffee and coffee, stop by the food stall, and eat first too ok!
But it turned out that the committee gave a shock of shock for participants who finished the fastest on stage 1-2 which started from Brown Canyon Semarang – Kampung Rawa Ambarawa – Bukit Grenden.
The fastest finisher of each class turned out to be given 1 unit of Honda Africa Twin you know!
Uh, not a real motorbike, but a Honda Africa Twin model kit from Tamiya with a scale of 1/6.

There is Yustira Ramadani from the Wing class who successfully finished fastest with 5 hours 51 minutes.
While in the Big Wing class, there was Om Diki from South Tangerang who successfully passed the finish line with a time of 6 hours 5 minutes 12 seconds.
Well it’s pretty good even if I don’t have a real Honda Africa Twin , at least I have a model kit that is very similar to the original!
