Honda started appearing in Formula One races in 1964, and in that August's German Grand Prix they debuted their RA271, which had its 1.5-liter 60-degree V12 engine in a novel transverse layout. The following year - the last for 1.5-liter cars - it was succeeded by the RA272, which in Richie Ginther's hands memorably took Honda's maiden victory at the pinnacle of motorsport, before it too was superseded in the Italian GP in 1966 by the RA273 with its 3-liter engine. Featuring a lightweight monocoque frame with aluminum panels and powered by a 90-degree V12 engine, the RA273 was driven by Ginther and Ronnie Bucknum, before the legendary John Surtees took over for the first six races of 1967, earning a podium finish at the South African GP that opened the season.
Comes with a leaflet of photographs of the car from 1967. The quintessentially 1960s form of the car is captured with superb accuracy. The V12 RA273 engine is depicted with accuracy, giving you an insight into Honda's technological prowess of the day. Exhaust pipes, air funnels and various tubes and lines add up to a super detailed finish. The rear has accurate depictions of uprights, universal drive shaft joints and more. Metal springs are used. The screw-attached nose cowling can be removed after completion to show off the radiator and its photo-etched grille. The cramped cockpit even has depictions of the instrumentation. Treaded tires have the GOODYEAR logo molded into them. The manual has instructions for the assembly of the #11 car at the 1967 South Africa GP and the #18 and #12 cars at the 1966 Italian and Mexico GPs respectively. The seated driver figure adds another element of realism. A scale battery and chocks are also included as accessories. Decals are included for three marking options, along with metal transfers for mirrors and instrumentation dial rings. Photo-etched parts are used for the radiator, oil coolers, steering wheel spokes and more. A leaflet is included with rare photos of Tamiya's research on the full-size car back in the 1960s.
