Updated Tamiya 12032 1/12 Honda RA273 (w/Photo-Etched Parts)


Tamiya presents an updated reissue of item 12032 1/12 Honda RA273 (with photo-etched parts) (sold in 2015) with an updated instruction manual (instructions for painting the tire engravings have been added), packaging, and a newly added double-sided A3 brochure with photos of the full-size car.
Honda’s history in Formula 1 began when the company took the bold step of creating its own racing car, developing its own engine, and entering an official team in the 1964 season. New regulations specifying 3-liter engines in 1966 forced Honda to design a new car, the RA273. John Surtees replaced Richie Ginther as Honda’s lead driver in 1967, and an improved car showed promise by finishing third in the South African Grand Prix.

Model information:
• 1/12 scale plastic assembly kit. Length: 333mm, width: 143mm, height: 70mm.
• Includes a newly added double-sided A3 brochure with full-size photos of the car.
• Features a realistic reproduction of the V12 engine with fuel pipes and ignition cables, as well as twelve air ducts recreated with aluminum parts.
• Coil springs are used for both front and rear suspension for smooth movement.
• The steering wheel moves the front wheels to reproduce steering.
• The front hood is removable, allowing inspection of internal mechanical components such as the radiator.
• Photo-etched parts recreate the brake discs, radiator, oil cooler, and steering wheel spokes, while metal transfers reproduce the surfaces of the side mirrors and indicator rings.
• Includes a driver and three marking options.
