Introduced as the PRELUDE Concept at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show, the new Honda PRELUDE made its debut in September 2025.

Its comfortable interior and suspension offering exemplary handling and superior ride are at the core of this specialty sports car.

About the Model
This is a 1/24 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 189mm, width: 87mm, height: 57mm. ★The streamlined low-profile, wide form is captured in style. ★Features realistic renderings of the underside, suspension and interior sections such as angular instrument panel lines and sizeable LCD display. ★The rear is depicted with the full-size car’s Honda Access option part spoiler. ★The model features a collapsible rear seat and accessories such as a suitcase and golf bag. ★Metal transfers and masking stickers are included.

The glider-inspired form is captured with aplomb in 1/24 scale.
Headlights are broken down into separate parts to avoid blushing of clear parts when cementing. Tires are solid synthetic rubber.
The option part spoiler adds a stylish accent to the rear.
This image shows the model assembled yet unpainted. Its parts breakdowns and colors were designed to facilitate an easier masking process.

Depictions of the 4-wheel suspension and front panel press lines are a highlight of the underside.
The dual axis strut suspension shares some of its design with the Civic Type R.
The rear multilink suspension is accurately depicted, as are the compact muffler and exhaust pipes.
A detailed interior has renderings of the display and D-shaped steering wheel. 2 instrumentation panel options depicting different drive modes are included.

Seats are split into multiple parts for easier masking and a smooth paint job.
The folding rear seat moves after assembly.
The opening tailgate can be propped open with the damper strut parts.
Golf bag, suitcase and Boston bag are included, and can be stored in the trunk when the rear seat is folded down.

Why not pair this model with the separately sold Campus Friends II set (Item 24356)?
The assembly instruction manual gives instructions for five color schemes including the two-tone color shown on the kit packaging.
PRELUDES old and new – here the newest model is depicted with its PRELUDE XX predecessor from forty years ago.
Decals are included for instrumentation and other details, as are masking stickers for the paint job and metal transfers for emblems and mirror surfaces.
