International Scale Modeller

Here are the final reveal photos of my first entry into the Rising Sun GB. Tamiya's 1/20 Honda RA272. for all the info, history and my journey through this build please check out my build thread. I have thoroughly enjoyed building this kit form Tamiya, no major problems to report and the fit was exceptional. I did add quite a lot of my own scratch built detail which included adding fuel lines in the engine bay, replaced the air funnels, front break lines, ht leads, mesh on the engine cover and adding springs to the suspension the only issue I had with the kit was the missing wing mirror lens, which was tricky to fix. hope you enjoy the photos of the Honda.





























Thanks for looking

Beautiful work, congratulations!

Steve

Great job mate looks fantastic really liked follow your thread, have brought this kit after seeing your build, keep the cars coming

Nice job,

I love those old racers. the pilots from that time, were real ones with Huge balls because driving so fast as they were driving with almost no adherence they were mad!!

Love it.

Andrew that looks killer, can you build me one in 1/1 scale?

Well done I'm lost for words now.... BTW how did you create the name plate? Did you use the computer to design it??

Cheers Goose, they sure had to work hard. No power steering, full manual gearbox surrounded by gallons of petrol and no seat belts. Real racing

Cheers iceman, now that would be one hell of a project. It is on my bucket list to build myself a lotus 7/caterham one day
