Model History[]

The Honda Civic Type R (2008) is a casting designed by Ryu Asada that debuted for the 2008 mainline. The casting was originally produced from 2008 to 2012 as MB753 when it was discontinued.

This casting returned in 2022 for the Japan Origins series. It was retooled with a revised roof rivet and a simplified wing with the bumper becoming part of the base for easier assembly.

Card description[]
