Crafted 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1 Taira Racing reproduction

The Tamiya 14085 reproduces the Yamaha YZF-R1 in 1/12 scale, emphasising engine visibility and race styling. As the Taira Racing edition linked to Tadahiko Taira, it uses a brown-tinted transparent cowling so modellers can display the intricately modelled engine bay.

Detailing and assembly notes

Chrome-plated components for the frame and rear arms enhance authenticity while Michelin High Sports tyres are modelled to match the original profile. The liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine is mounted with small screws to the frame, reflecting careful engineering in the kit. The rear seat cowl is removable to show a single-seat configuration and a racing stand is supplied for display.

Taira Racing kit contents

Included are Taira Racing-specific parts like the exhaust and rear fender together with decal sheets to replicate the racing livery, giving builders the parts needed to finish an accurate representation of the race bike.

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: Plastic with chrome-plated parts
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly and painting

Yes, the brown-tinted transparent cowling is intended to reveal the engine detail, so careful paint and masking work is recommended to keep a neat finish on visible areas.
The kit supplies a racing stand for static display plus decals and parts such as the removable rear cowl and race exhaust so the model can be presented in race or single-seat trim.
