Tamiya 14121 1/12 Scale Honda NSR500 1984 Replica Kit  [14121]

Honouring the 1984 Honda NSR500 in Tamiya 1/12 scale form

The NSR500 marked a step forward in Grand Prix engineering after the NS500 era, pairing a compact V4 engine with an aluminium frame that allowed smart routing of expansion chambers and the fuel tank. The 1984 model served as a development platform that influenced future race-winning designs.

Faithful modelling of the NSR500

The Tamiya 1/12 kit recreates the NSR500s defining elements, offering accurate framing, a detailed fuel tank, and vinyl tubing to simulate fuel and wiring runs. The kit prioritises authenticity, providing a satisfying build experience for scale modellers.

Construction and realistic touches

After assembly the model still allows removal of the front cowling, expansion chamber cover, and seat cowling for inspection. The Pro-Link rear suspension is movable and uses a coil spring, while the swing arm features truss detail. For those wanting extra realism, a separate front fork upgrade is available from Tamiya.
