TAMIYA 1965 HONDA S600 1/24 SCALE MODEL KIT 24340
New parts are included to depict S600-specific features such as the front grille and bumper unit, hood, radiator-top parts, brake and reverse lights, plus wheels.
The unique rear chain-drive unit-based trailing arm suspension is concisely and realistically captured, as is the front double wishbone suspension setup.
Parts are included to recreate the S600 as an open top with folded down roof, or as a hard top.
Decals and metal transfers included.
The Honda S600 is an automobile manufactured by Honda. It was launched in March 1964. Available as a roadster - bearing strong resemblance to the Honda S500 - and as a fastback coupé - introduced in March 1965 - the S600 was the first Honda available in two trim levels.[1] During its production run up to 1966, the model styling would remain pretty much the same, with the most notable changes coming to the front grille, bumper, and headlights.
The S600 was the first mass-marketed Honda car. First offered only in right-hand drive, it soon became available in left-hand drive to appeal to export markets.[1] There were a few pre-production S500s manufactured in left-hand drive, two or three even being shown in some early sales brochures.[citation needed] The S600 was the first Honda car sold in Europe. It was never officially sold in the United States, although a small number were imported by individual owners via Canada, Okinawa or Guam.[4]
Both the S600 roadster and coupé were available in standard trim and a special, upgraded package called the SM600 which included, among other items, special paint colors, exclusive badging, a standard radio and speaker, a special antenna in the passenger side sun visor, standard reversing lights, a standard cigarette lighter, a standard heater, better-cushioned seats, and a detachable seat track for quick removal of the passenger seat.[1]
Honda built 3,912 roadsters in 1964, with production climbing to 7,261 convertibles and 1,519 coupes in 1965. Production dropped off in 1966 (as they were shifting to the S800) with only 111 roadsters and 281 coupes, giving tallies of 11,284 convertibles and 1,800 coupes for the 3-year span.
Powered by a DOHC, water-cooled, four-cylinder inline engine with four Keihin carburetors, the engine capacity was increased to 606 cc from the S500's 531 cc. The engine produced 57 hp (43 kW) at 8,500 rpm and had a top speed of 90 mph (140 km/h). With the convertible weighing in at mere 1,576 lb (715 kg), the extra sheet metal of the coupe only added 33 lb (15 kg) to the overall weight.[2][3] A four speed manual transmission drove the rear wheels via a hypoid differential outputting to chain final drives for each rear wheel. Each wheel was driven by either single or dual chains (depending on production date), contained in a pivoting, sealed case with oil bath lubrication and adjustable tensioners. These pivoting chain cases functioned as trailing arms for the fully independent, coil-sprung rear suspension. The front suspension was also independent, with a-arms, longitudinal torsion bar springs and rack-and-pinion steering. The S600 was equipped with 13" wheels and finned aluminum drum brakes.

The Honda S500 and S600 were chain driven, a friend of mine had one. Great job Chris.
The great thing about Tamiya kits, while alittle more pricey, is you know stuff is going to fit
Nice kit! Kinda stuff I like!
It came out wonderful Chris I actually Love Tamiya kits they're fit-and-finish are just excellent
Chris, Another great build, thank you for sharing your builds with us. That is a little car! BTW, I hope you are recovering well from your recent mishaps. God Bless
Great looking build… build on 👍
Beautiful job Chris!
One of your best builds yet Chris. Well done!!
I saw one of these at a car show some years ago and it's amazing how tiny they are in real life! And Tamiya really does make some nice car model kits as well as other subjects.
Excellent work! I need to grab one for myself! Looks like one heck of a fun kit!
Excellent job putting this one together. Everything looks great. Very nice work. From your review, this is an amazingly engineered kit. Tamiya did a great job on this one. Thanks for sharing.
I built one too! Turned out great and I love Tamiya’s engineering/quality. The rear wheels use enclosed chain drives... 27:30
What a beauty. Honestly, because it's so small I thought it would be fussy to assemble. But NOooo Chris did it with ease. So how can I pass on this cutie? I can't. It's gunna look DIFFERENT parked next to my 1/24 Cobra. Laugh a minute modeling done right. Thanks for this build.
Funny how in the 90's, Tamiya models almost seemed exotic; I never bought them because they were so darn expensive compared to Revell, Monogram and AMT. Nowadays, most of their car models are almost cheaper than what Round 2 and Revell sell, and the quality is just top notch. It kinda confuses me hahaha! I just wish Tamiya would reissue as much of their past kits as Round 2, so I could get a chance to buy all the great kits that I missed!!!!
I need to start building like this. Building for fun. I need to learn that mot every model is for show and just have fun.
The detail in this kit is amazing.
Great job Chris!!
Wait.....could it be.......I believe it's Godzilla holding that Honda ! LOL. Going to get a few of these, thanks for making these videos
Lovely looking build. Great stuff!
That would be fun to drive. Reminds me of the cars I used to drive as a kid at Storytown.... Yeah I love the engine detail especially but the whole kit looks very nice. Tempting...
Wow ! That's another great build man !
That is adorable - I agree. So small and cute.
Said no women ever!
Lovely little kit
one of my many dream cars in real life. i'm going to have to get me one of these kits. keep up the great work
This honda is the best job I've ever seen it's gorgeous well done p
Great looking build Chris! Nice kit. Almost bought one of these when it first came out, but I wasn’t building much then. Take care of yourself! Thanks for review.
Cool model. 👍
Another great video build. I just picked up one of these. You have to hand it to the Japanese model manufacturers. They really do a great job engineering their kits. I used to build a lot of Bandai Gundam kits and they were always a pleasure. The Bandai Star Wars kits are really nice. It seems whenever they can, they try to hide the spru attach points. Sometimes I wish the American manufacturers would take a look at the Japanese kits. Anyway, this will be one of my first automobile kits. Looking forward, thanks to your video.
Reminds me of the s2000
Reminds me of an MGB ( sorta, kinda )
I noticed you're using floor finish to install windows and lenses. Is that working better ? Great build 🤙🤙
I've been trying it for anything with a really thin attachment point and it's been going good.
Sometimes mod podge will be a bit thick and give a cloudy look around very thin headlights, etc so I tried floor polish and like it so far.
Be careful! Modern tooling can be strongly habit forming.🤣 Still can't believe Honda built a chain drive car.🤣
You've never been near a real one? Because the last word associated with one of these was "quality". 36 cubic inches, 40hp, chain drive...yeegads! The build is cool, though.
Great build Chris! I'm a fairly recent subscriber, I was wondering why you don't use an airbrush?
For glass, when do you use Modge Podge and when do you use Pledge?
I've been experimenting with the floor polish for small pieces like headlights and markers and it's working well. It holds them in with a wicking action.
I still use mod podge for window glass as it's thick and holds the parts in place as it dries.
since you like to save money why don't you use lacquer thinner for glue?
Do wheels on these models turn ?
Not usually, last thing you want is a kit you spend many hours on rolling off a shelf.
I'm gonna look into building kits from Tamiya, Fujimi, Hasegawa etc. Getting real tired of trying to polish AMT turds where "original box art " is a selling point as opposed to quality.
The engine is so teenie, tiny
