1/20 Tamiya Honda RA272 tiny little beast

[RaulNanu]

Hi guys, just finished this one, Tamiya Honda RA272 in 1/20 scale.

It is a race car from the 60s, the first Japanese car to win formula one.

What really impressed me and I still can't believe it is that this car had 1.5L engine V12! Just search on YouTube to hear the engine sound, just incredible!

The build went well, Tamiya usual quality. Used Tamiya paints for the non-metallic parts and Alclad for the engine.

I didn't add any wiring/piping which is a pity, but I film in stopmotion the build process, and it would be difficult to also add wiring.

Let me know what you think!

Thank you! I recommend this kit because it is really different from a normal scale model car. Also you co do lots of enhancements like adding the wiring & piping which are very visible on this engine.

The Honda RA272 is one of my favourite Grand Prix cars and it looks like the Lego builder has worked his magic once again.
