Scaled Yamaha YZR-500 Taira Version in 1/12

The Tamiya 14075 - 1/12 Yamaha YZR-500 Taira Version is a faithful scaled model of the motorcycle that performed in the 1983 season, showing the signature two-stroke, water-cooled four-cylinder configuration. The compact engine layout and low centre of gravity are represented to reflect the original engineering approach.

Yamaha's shift to an aluminium frame away from the double-cradle setup gave the YZR-500 improved stiffness and reduced mass, design choices visible in the bike's silhouette. Builders will appreciate the kit's focus on frame geometry and external details that defined the YZR-500.

What skill level suits this Tamiya kit?

This kit is best for modellers with some experience in painting and assembly, since careful fitting and finishing are needed to show the bike's detailed frame and bodywork accurately.

Which paints work well on the plastic parts?

Use model acrylic or enamel paints formulated for polystyrene; prime the parts first for best adhesion and a smooth finish before applying the decal markings.
