Scaled Honda Civic Type-R R3 with Motorsport Roots

This Tamiya model places the Honda Civic Type-R R3 race livery and styling into a 1/10 kit built around the TT-01 platform. It reproduces the aggressive Type-R lines tuned by J.A.S. Motorsport while remaining friendly to builders who enjoy painting and detailing.

Chassis Features of the TT-01 Type-E

The TT-01 Type-E bathtub frame keeps key components low for improved handling and a reduced centre of gravity. Reinforced upper decks and gear covers increase torsional rigidity, and the 3-piece tie rod contributes to consistent steering that helps when threading the car through technical sections.

Detailed Bodywork and Lighting

Scale touches like the roof air-intake, side mirrors and rear spoiler add realism, while metal-plated light housings for LEDs create convincing head and tail light effects. The decal set reproduces the red and dark grey Type-R scheme to complete the race look.

Ideal for model builders and casual track users, the Civic Type-R R3 kit combines scale authenticity with the dependable TT-01 driving platform.

Basic hobby tools like screwdrivers, pliers, a modelling knife and paint supplies are all you need to build and finish the kit to a high standard.
The body shell can be modified for additional aero parts, though careful cutting and reinforcement is recommended to preserve fitment and appearance.
Regular gear inspection, cleaned bearings, and checking suspension bushings will maintain smooth operation and extend component life.
The supplied stickers are intended for display and dry track use; sealing with a clear coat improves longevity if you expose the model to moisture or heavy handling.
