2009 Yamaha YZR-M1 Fiat Yamaha Team 1/12 Plastic Model Kit - Tamiya 14117  [14117]

Tamiya 14117 — Detailed 1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 '09 Fiat Yamaha Team Model

This assembly kit in 1/12 scale reproduces the 2009 Fiat Yamaha YZR-M1 with a focus on mechanical realism and display presentation for modelmakers with intermediate to advanced skills.

The 2009 YZR-M1 featured targeted updates from the previous year to manage tyre feedback and improve handling. The 800cc inline four-cylinder engine and reworked chassis contributed to a lower center of gravity, better fuel economy and smoother driveability for that season, enabling consistent top finishes when set up for the spec tyres of the era.

Key mechanical elements are faithfully modelled, including the inline four engine configuration and realistic front and rear suspension components. Panels such as the side cowlings and seat are fastened with small screws so they can be removed for detailed display, and the tank cover detaches to expose internal features. The kit includes solid rubber slick tyres with Bridgestone markings and decal sheets for No.46 and No.99. A separate rider figure in a cornering pose is available but not part of the kit.

Ideal for display-oriented builds, this 1/12 kit highlights mechanical fidelity and removable bodywork for selective finishing and detailing.
