Tamiya Honda RA273 F1 Car with Photo-Etched Parts 1/12 Model Kit - Item #12032

1/12 Scale

In 1966, Formula One regulations were changed and indicated a move from cars with 1.5-litre engines to those with 3-litre ones. Having finally tasted success with the 1.5-litre RA272 the year before, the Honda engineers unfortunately had to start from scratch again, and the RA273 was not ready until the Italian GP in 1966.

Featuring a lightweight monocoque frame with aluminium panels and powered by a 90-degree V12 engine, the car was driven by Richie Ginther and John Surtees, with Ginther finishing the season in a respectable 4th place overall.
