Tamiya 14065 1/12 Suzuki GSX1100S Katana Custom Tuned Scale Kit

This Tamiya 1/12 scale kit recreates the Suzuki GSX1100S Katana, a standout of the 1980 Cologne show, with a focus on authentic lines and tuned detailing. The kit suits collectors aiming for an accurate, museum-style display model.

Detailed Engine and Chassis Work

The model replicates the air-cooled 4-cylinder DOHC engine and its cooling fins in fine detail. Notable inclusions like the front-mounted oil cooler and the Katana exhaust help convey mechanical authenticity in the completed build.

Period Correct Custom Parts

Tamiya has modelled the custom brake components, including a large front rotor with 4-pod calipers and a small floating rear caliper. These faithful reproductions support a historically accurate custom look.

I've used rcjaz a few times now mainly for Tamiya motorcycles, I'm always amazed how quickly items arrive and their prices compared to other sites. Great company and I recommend them highly

great service! thank you
Yes, the kit supplies the parts that depict the tuned elements such as the modified brakes and exhaust, allowing a faithful static replica when assembled and painted correctly.
Light use of modeller's putty on visible seams will improve the finish. Sand smoothly after curing and check with a primer coat before applying final paint.
Modellers often add thin braided brake lines, decal overlays and subtle weathering to increase realism. Photo-etched details can also refine handholds and small brackets.
