Prince R380 Japan 1966 #8 Ikuzawa by Ebbro
- resin
Having seen their Skyline saloons beaten by the Porsche 906 in the 1965 Japanese Grand Prix, the Prince company (soon to be absorbed by Nissan) came up with a purpose-built mid-engined sports racer for 1966. Power was from a modified version of the Skyline motor and they won. This wasn’t the winning example (that was #11) but was driven by one of Japan’s greatest drivers, Tetsu Ikuzawa, and the model is in a series dedicated to his career. It’s quite a simple model but is well finished and there is a fairly realistic driver figure in the cockpit.
