Tamiya 14135 1/12 Yamaha XV1600 Roadstar Custom - Classic Cruiser Model Kit  [14135]

Introducing the 1/12 Yamaha XV1600 Road Star Custom Scale Kit

Launched in 1999, the Yamaha XV1600 Road Star is celebrated for its strong 1,600cc character and timeless cruiser silhouette. Its straightforward mechanical look and custom culture make it a sought after subject for scale model makers. Tamiya captures these qualities in a 1/12 kit suited to collectors and builders seeking a detailed project.

Accurate features and model fidelity

The kit reproduces hallmark elements such as the telescopic front fork and the concealed rear damper which lend the full size bike its rigid appearance. Attention to engine detail and frame proportions gives the model a convincing scale presence that looks great straight from the box or with light modifications.

Colour guidance and presentation ideas

Tamiya recommends paints like TS-14 Black and TS-37 Lavender for spray finishes, and lacquer LP-5 Semi gloss black for another finish option. Good preparation and thin, even coats help bring out the kit's fine details. A clear case or stand will keep the assembled model looking its best on display.
