Tamiya 1/12 Honda RA273 with Photo-Etched Parts Plastic Model Kit

This 1/12 scale model kit recreates the Honda RA273, a pivotal machine in Honda’s early Formula One history. In 1966, new Formula One regulations doubled engine capacity limits from 1.5 liters to 3 liters, heralding a new era of speed and innovation. Fresh from success with the RA272, Honda’s engineers began anew to design a car capable of meeting these demanding new standards. The result was the RA273, unveiled at the 1966 Italian Grand Prix. Featuring a lightweight aluminum monocoque chassis and a 90-degree V12 engine, it embodied Honda’s commitment to advanced engineering and performance. Driven by Richie Ginther and John Surtees, the RA273 achieved promising results in its debut season, with Ginther securing a commendable fourth place overall, marking another proud milestone in Honda’s Formula One legacy.
