Tamiya 14113 1/12 Scale Honda RC166 GP Racer 1966 Model Kit  [14113]

Detailed 1/12 Scale Tamiya Honda RC166 GP Racer

This Tamiya 1/12 scale kit recreates the Honda RC166 GP Racer that stood out in the 1966 world championship, the machine ridden by Mike "The Bike" Hailwood in the 250cc class. Its six-cylinder engine and six exhausts made it a standout in period competition.

Period Engineering Recreated for Display

The RC166's performance reputation is matched here by accurate visual cues such as the red and silver FRP cowling, sizable drum brakes and finely rendered silver spoke wheels. The assembly is rewarding for modellers who value accurate finish and neat assembly techniques.

Intricate Details and Craftsmanship

Engine detailing includes faithful representations of the air-cooled 6-cylinder components, from the crankcase to the cylinder fins. Wheels use metal-plated 0.4mm ABS resin spokes for a realistic look, the long cowling benefits from slide molding for crisp edges, and solid rubber tyres replicate the triangular tread common in the 1960s.
