This model kit recreates the HONDA RA273 Formula One car as raced in the 1966 F1 season. At 1/12 scale it allows modelers to dive into the vast details the scale offers.

In 1966, Formula One regulations were changed and showed a move from cars with 1.5-liter engines to those with 3-liter ones. Having finally tasted success with the 1.5-liter RA272 the year before, the Honda engineers unfortunately had to start from nothing again, and the RA273 was not ready until the Italian GP in 1966. Featuring a lightweight monocoque frame with aluminum 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.
