Classic BMW R90S Rendered in 1/6 Scale

When it debuted in 1973 the BMW R90S stood out with its air-cooled 898cc boxer unit and improved braking package. The Tamiya 16008 kit reflects those original engineering cues with precise components, from the semi-cowling to the accurately modelled spokes. Elements like true rubber tyres and clear headlamp lenses make this kit a realistic display piece for collectors.

How long does a typical build take?

Build time varies with experience but expect several evenings to a few weekends for careful assembly, painting and detailing.

Are step-by-step instructions provided?

Yes, the kit includes a detailed instruction booklet that guides you through assembly and parts placement.

Can I upgrade parts or add weathering?

Builders often upgrade fasteners or add weathering effects. The kit lends itself to modest customisation if you want a more authentic or aged appearance.

What adhesives are best for this model?

Use standard plastic model cement for most parts and cyanoacrylate for small metal-to-plastic joins; test on spare parts when possible.

How should I store the finished model?

Keep the model in a dust-free cabinet away from direct sunlight to preserve paints and rubber components over time.
