Tamiya 14070 Super Blackbird 1/12 Scale Honda CBR 1100XX Model Build Kit  [14070]

History and scale likeness of the Super Blackbird

Introduced in 1996, the Honda CBR 1100XX Super Blackbird combined high output and streamlined design. Producing around 165 horsepower and topping over 300 km/h, the original used wind tunnel development to refine its aerodynamics. The scale kit mirrors the bike's slim nose and the piggy-back combination headlight assembly that defines its profile.

Model accuracy and assembly focus

Tamiya's 1/12 model pays close attention to the Super Blackbird's aerodynamic fairing and the dual-shaft balancer detail of the engine. Builders will notice faithful reproductions of the air intakes and the combined brake setup, which elevate the kit's realism when carefully built.

Collector suitability and display tips

As a display item, this Tamiya kit holds its own among other motorcycle models. Its accurate lines and mechanical references make it a rewarding subject for display, especially when finished with careful paintwork and decals.
