Tamiya 14078 1/12 Yamaha YZR500 'Norick' Collector Model  [14078]

Recreate the Iconic Yamaha YZR500 'Norick' in Scale

The Tamiya 14078 kit captures Norifumi "Norick" Abe's Yamaha YZR500 in a finely detailed 1/12 scale, emphasising the compact 2-stroke 4-cylinder engine and race geometry. This model is well suited to display builders and collectors seeking period authenticity.

Construction and Frame Features

The kit provides separate one-piece parts for air ducts and the engine to ensure clean assembly lines. The model's Delta box frame is assembled with small screws to reflect the original mounting method. The removable body and seat cowl permit varied display choices.

Detailing, Tyres and Decals

Solid rubber tyres carry period-correct tread for an authentic silhouette. Brake and ignition lines are modelled in place, and the set includes waterslide decals together with clear pictorial instructions to assist in finishing and weathering.
