1:24 Hasegawa 20375 Honda RA272E 1965 Mexican GP Winner - Japanese Formula 1 Car Plastic Model kit

On 24 October 1965, Honda made history by securing its very first Formula 1 victory. Behind the wheel of the Honda RA272 was American driver Richie Ginther, who delivered an unforgettable performance in car number 11 at the Mexican Grand Prix. With the Hasegawa 20375 Honda RA272E 1965 Mexican GP Winner, you can recreate this legendary Japanese racing car as a detailed plastic model kit in 1:24 scale. Its distinctive white bodywork with red accents, slender design and exposed wheels capture the unmistakable appearance of a 1960s Formula 1 car. A remarkable piece of motorsport history for enthusiasts of classic racing cars and Honda's impressive racing heritage.

The Honda RA272 was developed as the successor to the RA271 and represented Honda's second season as a constructor in the Formula 1 World Championship. The racing car featured a technically advanced 1.5-litre V12 engine, renowned for its high-revving performance and distinctive engine sound. Throughout the 1965 season, Honda worked continuously to improve reliability, weight distribution and overall performance. These efforts were rewarded at the final Grand Prix of the season in Mexico. Richie Ginther started from third on the grid, took the lead and remained in front throughout the entire race. This achievement secured Honda's first Formula 1 victory and made the RA272 the first Japanese racing car to win a World Championship Grand Prix.

Hasegawa has recreated this historic racing car with careful attention to its distinctive bodywork, racing cockpit and remarkable V12 engine configuration. The kit offers a detailed representation of the streamlined design, exposed wheels and technical components characteristic of Formula 1 in 1965. The included rubber tyres contribute to its realistic appearance, while waterslide decals allow you to reproduce the authentic markings of Richie Ginther's winning number 11 car. The classic white livery with the red Japanese sun makes the completed model a striking display piece. Combine the Honda with other historic Formula 1 cars or present it in a diorama inspired by the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix.
