This 1/12 scale Tamiya model captures the iconic Honda RC166 GP Racer from the 1966 world series, celebrating the bike that helped Mike "The Bike" Hailwood dominate the 250cc class. The replica showcases the RC166's innovative six-cylinder design and its six exhaust outlets.
The RC166 is well known among racing fans for its speed and engineering. Tamiya reproduces key visual elements such as the red and silver FRP cowling, large drum brake assemblies and period-correct silver spoked wheels, making this kit attractive to those who like authentic display pieces and fine assembly work.
Detailed engine parts reflect the air-cooled 6-cylinder layout, with defined crankcase and cylinder fin shapes. The kit includes ultra-thin metal plated 0.4mm ABS resin spokes for an accurate wheel look, while slide-moulded long cowling parts give crisp lines. Solid rubber tyres mimic the triangular tread of the era.
