Honda S800 Racing - Tamiya 1/24

My new build, obviously Honda Honda S800 RSC, nice little racing car.

Tamiya model is a little disappointment mainly due to lots of ejector pin marks. Secondly, molding quality varies in different car parts. Anyway, probably it will not be as challenging as FW10.





I have used brass rod as new shaft. It looks better and make fitting easier. Differential housing is als modified.







I have checked body and chassis fitment and it is so tight that I am afraid about final completion. I will have to make clearances bigger to avoid forcing body panels when mounting. I may and up cracking decals and/or paint




Body has been sanded with 3M polishing sponge. First coat of Tamiya primer already sprayed on.
