Product overview and modelling intent

This 1/12 scale plastic assembly kit from Tamiya's Masterwork Collection portrays the Telefonica Movistar Honda RC211V as campaigned by Daijiro Kato, with emphasis on an authentic external finish. It is intended for display rather than internal mechanical detailing.

The Honda RC211V was developed as a four-stroke V5 competition motorcycle, pairing a compact multi-cylinder layout with a chassis designed for race circuit performance. The design was used by several factory and satellite teams during its active racing period.

The kit focuses on exterior fidelity, including fairing profiles and period sponsor graphics. Builders should expect to perform standard plastic assembly, painting, and decal application to reproduce the model's race appearance accurately.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Assembly: Plastic model kit

A finely presented kit for those who prioritise external accuracy and display-ready finishing in a historic racing livery.

How historically accurate are the sponsor markings?

The kit aims to match the period livery as seen on the original race machine. For pin-point accuracy, compare the decals and colour scheme against photographic references from the era before finishing.

Can the model be restored if decals or small parts are damaged?

Minor damage can be repaired with touch-up paint and replacement decals where available. For missing small parts, contact retailers or specialist spare-part suppliers for compatible components.

Is the kit appropriate for competition modelling or display contests?

Yes, with meticulous preparation, paintwork, and decal application, the finished model can meet display contest standards. Attention to panel lines, seam filling, and accurate colours will improve judging outcomes.

What should I check before starting assembly?

Review the parts list and instruction sheets, organise tools and paints, and dry-fit components to understand the sequence. Confirm decal placement and prepare a painting plan before gluing major assemblies.
