Tetsu's Honda

After Tamiya re-released the S800 and seeing some pictures of the Honda S800 which drove the Nurburgring 500kms race in 1967, I thought it would be really cool to build a 1/10 scale version of it. The car was driven by Tetsu Ikuzawa and won his class (1000 cc and under) that year .
As always I tried to give the car some extra details like an exhaust, rear view mirrors (inside and outside) and a cockpit with a styrene rollcage and dashboard. It’s a shame I didn’t had decals left to put the right number on the car, but for me that isn’t a big deal. I’m happy with the looks right now, it’s just a great little car! After all the re-releases I wish Tamiya would release some new historic race and rally cars on the m-chassis, maybe they can make some great new bodysets for the new M-06, that would be awesome!
