Overview of the compact sport model

The Honda CR-X gained popularity for blending compact dimensions with peppy performance. Launched in 1983, its nimble handling and efficient layout made it a favourite among drivers wanting a spirited but practical car. Tamiya reproduces the Mugen CR-X Pro in 1/24 scale, letting modellers recreate its sharp profile and race-inspired touches.

Significance in its decade

In the 1980s the CR-X stood apart as a sporty compact with strong aftermarket interest. The Si version's SOHC engine and light weight attracted tuners and weekend racers. This kit preserves visual cues from that period so builders can appreciate the car's styling and engineering role.

Model building and display potential

Model makers will find the Tamiya kit rewarding thanks to clean molding and decals that reflect the Mugen edition. The assembled model suits shelf display or grouping with other 1/24 motorsport pieces, showing off the CR-X's distinctive silhouette.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit includes multiple small parts that require careful handling. Intermediate builders will find the steps clear, while novices should allow extra time and use fine tweezers for small pieces.
This release follows typical Tamiya practice; tyres and wheel parts are moulded to match the scale. Check the sprues for individual tyre components and fit them carefully to avoid distortion.
Prep parts with a light sanding and primer to ensure smooth paint adhesion. Thin coats and controlled masking will help reproduce the crisp lines of the Mugen livery.
