1:12 Honda RC213V

The real subject

The Honda RC213V is a factory racing prototype for the premier class of road motorcycle racing, campaigned since 2012. The V in the designation corresponds to an engine with four cylinders arranged in a V. A racing machine of this kind has almost nothing to spare: a bare frame, the swingarm, the exhaust routed close to the carbon covers and bodywork in the team's color scheme. On a model, therefore, the cleanliness of the small parts is what counts, because there is nothing to hide them behind.

Building tips

If the parts are not polystyrene, ordinary kit cement has no effect on them; bond them with super glue applied in the tiniest drops. Cut excess material away with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand off the marks of manufacture with fine abrasive paper. Before painting, wash the surface in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent and let it dry. Try the fit dry, because inside bodywork the clearance is often only a few tenths of a millimeter.

Who it is for

For builders of racing motorcycles in a large scale who want to take a finished model beyond the level of an out-of-the-box build. Paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
