Tamiya JTCC JACCS Accord 1/24 Sports Car Series No.180 Car info This car raced in the 1996 Japanese Touring Car Championship (JTCC). Honda's latest racing technologies were used in this low sleek racer. The front mounted (transversely) 4 cylinder 2 litre engine was tuned to put out 300bhp. Transmission was a sequential 6 speed. Standard wish bone system was totally re-fabricated using hi-tech materials. 18" racing rims/slicks Lowed to the bare minimum of ground clearance. Driver..... N.Hattori The Kit The kit is the same as the other Tamiya Honda Accords (PIAA and Castrol). Molded in white. The kit is another brilliant one from Tamiya with good fitting of all parts. It's engineless but can still be viewed from underneath. Very straight forward to paint from the box. Interior detail of the roll cage, etc., is well done. It allows plenty of room for extra detail if you wish. The whole body is sprayed in gloss white. The real fun bit is all the decals to add. There is approx. 90-100 decals to add to this kit. It is very time consuming, but taking your time and not rushing will give you a very good end result. Most of the sides/bonnet/roof/boot are straight forward. The real tricky bits are the front/rear bumpers which need plenty of decal solvent and patience. End result is a nice aggressive look to the car from the height and wheels. Summary Not a kit for those that have no patience with decals. Practice on easy models first before attacking something like this. Decals aside......what else can you say about Tamiya kits? Another nice one to add to the collection. Back
