Scale Replication of the YZF-R1 Taira Racing Machine

The Tamiya 14074 - 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1 Taira Racing model kit reproduces a landmark sportbike that first appeared in 1997. The kit captures the bike's compact layout and race-derived parts so builders can recreate a faithful miniature display model.

Racing Pedigree and Design Notes

The Yamaha YZF-R1 became notable for its balance of agility and power, and Taira Racing, led by Tadahiko Taira, fitted race-oriented components such as a titanium exhaust and carbon fender. The model echoes those details so you can inspect the race upgrades in scale.

Construction Details and Decal Work

This 1/12 scale static kit includes options for single or two-seat setups and a reproduction of the Delta Box II Frame with plated elements for added realism. Decals provide the rear fender carbon motif and the under cowl black gradation, while the included UV-filter sticker tones the windscreen for a correct look.

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Assembly Type: Static kit
  • Material: Plastic with plated parts
  • Decals: Carbon pattern and black gradation included
  • Additional Features: UV-filter windscreen sticker

Do the decals require special care when applying?

Treat the decals with setting solution and apply over a smooth, gloss surface for best adhesion and to avoid silvering. Trim precisely and use tweezers for small pieces.

Is painting required before assembly?

Several parts should be painted prior to final assembly for neat results, especially interior frame sections and the under cowl. Follow the reference photos and decal guides for colour placement.

Will the plated parts accept paint?

Plated parts are best left unpainted for realism, but light surface preparation and use of adhesion primer can help if you need to alter the finish.
