The Tamiya NSR500 '84 Honda (HC-14121) brings Honda’s groundbreaking 1984 Grand Prix machine to the workbench in 1/12 scale. Based on the early-season version ridden by F. Spencer, this detailed kit highlights the single-crankshaft V4 engine and the radical arrangement with expansion chambers positioned above the engine and the fuel tank below.

Tamiya’s precision engineering captures the aluminium frame, complex fuel tank shapes and intricate cabling for a realistic and rewarding build. The result is a faithful display model that showcases the character and innovation of Honda’s iconic GP racer.

Despite having taken the 1983 500cc Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix Riders' Championship (their first since 1967) on the 2-stroke V3 engine NS500, Honda were not satisfied with their motor and felt that more power would be required. Thus, the Japanese motorcycle giant came up with a single-crankshaft V4 design engine, which was used in their 1984 entry. It featured a unique aluminium frame to house the engine and a radical layout in which the expansion chambers and the fuel tank were positioned above and below the engine respectively. The bike would go on to compete in road races over the next 19 years, and now appears as a 1/12 scale model in the Tamiya line-up.
