Tamiya 1:12 Honda RC166 50Th Anniversary

The Tamiya 1/12 Honda RC166 50th Anniversary (HC-14113) captures the legendary six-cylinder Grand Prix machine made famous by Mike “The Bike” Hailwood. Known for its top speed and six exhaust pipes, the RC166 is reproduced with red and silver FRP cowling, large-diameter drum brakes and silver spoke wheels for an authentic display model.

Engine detail is a highlight, with the air-cooled six-cylinder powerplant accurately represented, including the crankcase and cylinder fins. Precision parts and refined moulding deliver a lifelike finish worthy of this historic racing motorcycle.
