Tamiya 14001 1/12 Yamaha YZR500 Historic GP Model Kit  [14001]

Historic 1980 Yamaha YZR500 Recreated by Tamiya 14001

The Tamiya 14001 kit captures the Yamaha YZR500 that defined an era of Grand Prix racing. In 1/12 scale, the model lets builders reproduce the bike that helped Kenny Roberts Sr. secure his third consecutive world title, reflecting the design and two-stroke engineering of the period.

Construction Details and Finish

Body panels are modeled to reflect the YZR500 profile, from the streamlined nose to the rear seat cowl. The engine is supplied as a main casting with adjoining parts to ease assembly while keeping visible texture. Cartograf decal sheets are provided to match the No.1 race liveries for a period-correct display finish.
