Tamiya 21149 Honda RS1000 1981 1/12 Scale Collector Model  [21149]

High fidelity 1/12 Honda RS1000 model

The Tamiya 21149 release captures the classic lines of the 1981 Honda RS1000 with close attention to proportion and mechanical detail. The finished model emphasises the distinctive cowling and drivetrain elements that define the original machine.

Heritage and engine specification

Following the RCB1000, the Honda RS1000 used an air cooled 4-stroke DOHC 4-cylinder engine producing around 130hp. This kit mirrors the bike's race-oriented design, offering a faithful miniature that reflects its competitive pedigree.

Detailing, paintwork and presentation

Compared with a base kit, this issue features an improved fuel tank shape, revised headlight position and extra cable detail. The engine and exhaust receive detailed paintwork and metallic fork stickers to achieve a convincing display finish.
