TOKYO, Oct 27 (Reuters) - The Nikkei average fell 0.8 percent on Tuesday, dented by shares of exporters such as Honda Motor Co after U.S. stocks fell amid fears lawmakers may let a federal home buyer tax credit expire.
The benchmark Nikkei slipped 79.16 points to 10,283.46, after rising 0.8 percent the previous day to hit its highest finish in four weeks.
The broader Topix declined 0.7 percent to 904.42. (Reporting by Aiko Hayashi)
