Tamiya 21139 1/12 Honda NS500 ’84 No.1 Finished Model Masterwork Collection

This is a high-quality factory finished model of the Honda NS500 No.1 bike from 1984. The NS500 featured a unique V3 engine with 112 degree angled cylinders and a lightweight body, a setup which would take it to the 1983 500cc Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix Riders’ Championship. In 1984, Honda used the NS500 together with the V4-engine NSR500, selecting which bike to race depending upon the circuit. Riders F. Spencer and R. Mamola each achieved 2 victories on the bike, with Mamola achieving second place in the Riders’ Championship and the Honda team taking home their second consecutive Constructors’ crown.
