Tamiya 20043 - 1/20 Honda F-1 RA272 Richie Ginther Tribute Model Kit  [20043]

Iconic RA272 Motorsport Story

This Tamiya 20043 1/20 scale kit captures the Honda F1 RA272, the machine that gave Honda its maiden Formula One win at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix. Driven by Richie Ginther, the car featured a transversely mounted V-12 that delivered strong performance for its era, and the kit preserves those defining features for accurate reproduction.

Development and Race Achievements

Honda's first steps in F1 were bold, and the RA272 marked a rapid evolution from earlier efforts. The 1965 campaign included competitive showings that culminated in the Mexican victory, demonstrating the maker's rapid technical progress.

Display and Assembly Notes

The 1/20 scale parts in this Tamiya kit emphasise realistic surfaces and engine detail, offering modellers a satisfying build that looks at home in a period display or alongside other Grand Prix replicas.
