Tamiya 16031 - 1/6 Honda Gorilla Spring Edition Scale Kit  [16031]

Inside the Tamiya 16031 Honda Gorilla Spring Collection

The Honda Gorilla started life in 1978 as a compact leisure bike derived from the Monkey platform. Its 49cc air-cooled engine, four-speed manual gearbox and oversized fuel tank gave it a distinct presence. Production paused in 1992, then the model returned in 1998 with updated finishes and chrome accents that refreshed its appeal.

Precision build for experienced modellers

The Tamiya 1/6 scale kit faithfully captures the 1998 Gorilla profile. At 226mm long, 104mm wide and 183mm tall, the model recreates the larger headlamp, chrome-plated trim and a detailed engine layout. Functional front and rear suspensions and finely moulded components make the assembly process rewarding for hobbyists with some modelling experience.

Showcase quality and shelf appeal

This is more than a kit to assemble it is a display piece that celebrates a slice of motorcycle history. Chrome-plated parts reproduce the original shine, and decals provide options for both the regular and "Spring Collection" liveries. The finished model suits collectors and those seeking a standout display item.
