1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 2004 Replica Model Kit - Tamiya 14100  [14100]

Scale replica: Tamiya Yamaha YZR-M1 2004 No.7/33 in 1/12 for collectors

This 1/12 scale plastic kit replicates the 2004 Yamaha YZR-M1 race bike, crafted as a detailed assembly model for display and accurate finishing.

The YZR-M1 was Yamaha's principal four-stroke race machine in the early 2000s, featuring a compact inline four-cylinder engine and a chassis tuned for high-speed circuit use. The 2004 development refined the platform for the larger displacement regulations, with factory riders delivering notable results across the season. The model's bodywork reflects the aerodynamic, narrow-profile design of that period.

As a separate representation from the real motorcycle, the kit reproduces the engine layout, exhaust routing, ram air intake and suspension arrangement in miniature. The package includes an alternate seat cowl for two rider configurations and synthetic rubber tyres that replicate slick tyres at this scale. Poly caps are used where required for suspension and cowl attachments, and certain body panels can be removed after assembly to expose the engine bay and drivetrain for display.

High-quality decals are provided for the two rider numbers shown, and the moulded cowling captures the compact, streamlined shape of the 2004 machines. Painting and basic modelling tools are necessary to complete the build; decal positioning and finish choices will affect the final display appearance.

A precise 1/12 scale replica aimed at enthusiasts focused on mechanical fidelity and display quality, offering alternate bodywork and realistic tyres for presentation.
