1/20 Scale Formula One Model Kit

This Tamiya kit reproduces the Honda RA272 that won the 1965 Mexico Grand Prix at 1/20 scale. It is aimed at adult collectors and hobby enthusiasts who enjoy building detailed vintage racing replicas from scratch.

Detailed Build With Removable Sections

The moulded white parts include a three-piece engine cowl, removable rear cowling and front nose cone that reveal a detailed V12 engine. Chrome plated small parts and realistic rubber like tyres add visual depth, while two marking options let you choose your preferred livery.

Assembly Requires Paint And Cement

Paint and cement are not included, so the finished model depends entirely on the builder’s skill and choice of colours. The vintage style packaging and officially licensed decals protect the kit’s authenticity, but the kit itself contains no pre painted or snap fit components.

Questions about this item

What scale does the 1/20 kit represent, and how large is the finished model?

The kit is moulded in 1/20 scale; the completed Honda RA272 measures roughly 20 centimetres in length.

What physical items are required to assemble and finish the model?

Plastic cement, hobby knives, tweezers and paint are needed; the parts come moulded in white and the kit includes rubber-like tyres and chrome-plated details.

Which assembly step catches builders out most often?

The engine cowl splits into three separate pieces and the rear cowling plus front nose cone are removable; test-fit those sections before applying cement so they align correctly.
