Tamiya 24193 - 1/24 avex Dome Mugen NSX Racing Car Model Kit  [24193]

Crafting the Iconic avex Dome Mugen NSX

The Tamiya 24193 - 1/24 avex Dome Mugen NSX model kit offers enthusiasts a chance to recreate one of the most celebrated entries in the 1997 Japanese GT Car Championship. Developed from the Honda NSX by the renowned "mugen + Dome Project," this vehicle was a testament to Japanese engineering prowess. The real car boasted a lightweight aluminum monocoque reinforced with a roll cage, and its body featured carbon fiber components for enhanced aerodynamics. This model captures the unique silhouette with its front spoiler, "Canard" wings, and large rear spoiler, all results of meticulous wind tunnel testing.

Under the hood, the real NSX housed a 3,450cc V6 engine developed by Mugen, delivering over 450 horsepower. Though this powerplant isn't replicated in the model, the kit does feature an authentic engine bay, along with a detailed interior and chassis undersurface, making it a rewarding build for hobbyists. The avex Dome Mugen NSX's striking blue livery and distinctive decals are faithfully reproduced, offering a standout addition to any collection.
