Hasegawa 52708 Honda RA272 1/24 rear-engined Grand Prix car kit  [HA-52708]

Hasegawa 52708 SP708 1/24 Honda RA272 with driver figure

This 1/24 scale plastic model kit reproduces the Honda RA272 as issued in the SP708 limited release and is supplied with a driver figure for display purposes.

The Honda RA272 was Honda's 1965 Grand Prix contender, featuring a rear-engined layout and noted for securing the marque's first Grand Prix victory at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix. It raced during the mid 1960s era of small-displacement Grand Prix competition and marks Honda's early single-seater efforts.

As a scale kit the focus is on the RA272's external lines and period livery. The listing confirms a driver figure is included; builders should expect to perform standard assembly and painting to reproduce period details and the chosen race appearance. Referencing period photographs will help achieve an accurate finish.

This kit suits hobbyists who prioritise historical exterior detailing and display presentation. Careful surface preparation, seam cleanup, and precise masking of livery stripes will improve the final display result. The included figure can be used to stage paddock scenes or enhance display layouts.

A focused scale reproduction of a significant 1960s Grand Prix car, this limited-run Hasegawa kit appeals to builders and collectors aiming for accurate exterior detail and display-ready presentation.
