Tamiya Honda S600


Recommended Posts

This one is my build of Tamiya's Honda S600. The car itself is very small, so naturally the kit is likewise. I was quite pleased with the end result apart from a couple of relatively minor issues, and this seems like a decent kit. I had been concerned that the bonnet was going to detract badly from the model, but now that I have the brightwork on the car the bonnet sort of fades into the background. But, if you want to read more about it, this is the link to my build thread:

 

The build is completely stock apart from being a non-factory colour so I'll just go straight off an post up a load of pictures. Hopefully this isn't too many! As with any of my builds, comments and (constructive) criticism is welcome.

 

Quarter shots:

The interior - I know it's a bit of a sea of black, but this is the correct colour scheme for the silver version of the car so I figured it was appropriate for the car finished in grey:

And under the bonnet, unfortunately I used the wrong part for the top of the radiator but I suspect only the real Honda afficionados would notice. Incidentally, the windscreen isn't really on wonky, that's just an artefact from the angle of the camera.

And finally just some shots from front, rear and side on:

Hope you like it, despite a few small issues with it I'm pleased with the result and hopefully will continue to progress as I build more models.

Beautifully built car.  I imagine it's small even allowing for 1/24 scale, as those early Hondas were all teeny-tiny cars in real life!

Cheers

Tiny, when I get the sun-shot done I'll do another one next to the 959 for comparison, but you're absolutely right about it being small. It doesn't look 1/24 on the shelf.

That's very nice! Interesting colour choice that suits the little thing really well!

Thank you. I'd love to say that the colour is down to my genius, but it was just chosen as something similar to an S800 I saw down at le Mans which I thought suited the car well. Happily, I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

It's a good one Spiny, great colour and very tidy interior, nothing wrong with that at all! 

Thanks to you as well. I must admit that the interior nearly drove me mad while trying to fit the tub into the body. It took four attempts, on each  of the earlier goes the sides came unstuck and I had to go back to square one so I'm pleased that you like it.
