Tamiya 14113 1/12 Honda RC166 GP Racer Scale Model Kit Collector Edition  [14113]

Tamiya 1/12 Honda RC166 GP Racer - Period Accurate Scale Model

The Tamiya 1/12 rendition of the Honda RC166 GP Racer faithfully reflects the 1966 championship machine that helped Mike "The Bike" Hailwood win the 250cc crown. Notable for its six-cylinder engine and six exhausts, the RC166 represented a high point in period racing engineering.

Model Appeal and Display Potential

Collectors and builders prize the RC166 for its engineering and looks. This kit reproduces the red and silver FRP cowling, large-diameter drum brakes and detailed silver-spoked wheels, providing a strong display piece after careful finishing and paintwork.

Intricate Details and Craftsmanship

The kit includes carefully modelled air-cooled 6-cylinder engine parts such as crankcase and cylinder fins. Super-thin metal-plated 0.4mm ABS resin spokes lend an authentic wheel appearance, the long cowling benefits from slide moulding for sharp detail, and the solid rubber tyres reflect the 1960s triangular tread pattern.
