Recreate the 1980 Yamaha YZR500 with Tamiya 14001

Tamiya 14001 captures the spirit of the Yamaha YZR500, a landmark machine from the 1980 Grand Prix season. This 1/12 scale model is aimed at enthusiasts who want to build a faithful miniature of the bike that helped Kenny Roberts Sr. secure his third title, reflecting the two-stroke era and Yamaha engineering like the YPVS.

Build Notes and Visual Highlights

The engine is cast as a unified assembly with surrounding parts for easier fit, yet retains molded detail. Cartograf decal sheets are supplied to accurately depict the No.1 race bike for period-correct display.
