The Honda RC 166 was a legendary six-cylinder racing motorcycle that dominated the 250 cm³ class from 1965 to 1967. Thanks to this model, the Japanese manufacturer—Honda Motor Company—won world championships, and riders such as Mike Hailwood achieved spectacular victories at Grand Prix events. The Tamiya 14113 and 14127 kits are faithful replicas of this machine, but the original plastic imitation of the chain and sprockets leaves much room for significant realism improvement.

FSM022 is not only a highly accurate representation of mechanical details—it also offers exceptional assembly precision and ease of customization (the part is ready for painting, each component is separated). The metal chain increases the value of the finished model, especially if you plan to display it with an open drive mechanism or in a workshop diorama.

We recommend this product for advanced modelers or intermediate ones wishing to learn how to work with photo-etched parts. Assembly requires attention and basic modeling skills such as bending and precise gluing of small metal elements.

Difficulty level: 3/5 – recommended tools: tweezers, photo-etch bender, CA glue.

Falcon Scale Models’ high-quality details significantly enhance the realism of the Honda RC 166 model, making it a unique highlight of any collection. This is the perfect addition for racing classic enthusiasts and Tier 1 collectors.
