Tamiya 1/24 Honda Prelude 1983 24032'

Plastic model kit, assembly required.  Glue, paint and finishing supplies not included.

Tamiya welcomes an updated re-issue of Item 24032 1/24 Honda Prelude XX (originally sold in 1983) with updated decals, instruction manual, packaging and transparent windshield part. November 1978 saw the debut of the Honda Prelude, a car which was in fact Honda’s first two-door model since the 1300 coupe had been released some eight years earlier. Inheriting a front engine, front-wheel drive (FF) setup, the second-generation model was released in November 1982. It further enhanced the Prelude’s trademark comfort and drivability; the first anti-lock braking system (ABS) on a Japanese car used ventilated disc brakes on all four wheels. The engine was upgraded to a 1,829cc inline-4 SOHC unit featuring Honda’s proprietary branched conduit torch system that employed a 3-valve layout for higher compression. Its low-profile hood, retractable headlights on the nose and flush surface body contributed significantly to the Prelude’s low drag and aerodynamics.
