1:24 Honda NSX

Honda NSX 1:24 (Tamiya)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Honda NSX supercar in 1:24 scale from the Japanese brand Tamiya. The body captures the aerodynamically clean shapes of the car faithfully, and the model offers an opening rear cover with a view into the engine bay, a well-worked interior and the option of building it with left-hand or right-hand drive. The kit is supplied as plastic parts, and glue and paints are needed.

The real subject

The Honda NSX was the first production supercar from Honda and went on sale in 1990. With its aluminum body and mid-mounted V6 it became famous for combining performance with everyday usability and became an icon of Japanese automotive engineering at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with thin modeling cement for plastic. It is recommended to spray the body with an airbrush over a primer and to overcoat it with gloss clear varnish, so that the smooth surface comes out. Glue the chrome and clear parts with a cement that leaves no fogging. Small touching in of the interior detail can be done with a brush.
