Tamiya 14140 - 1/12 Ducati Superleggera V4 Model Kit - Compact Display Build  [14140]

Tamiya 14140 1/12 Ducati Superleggera V4 - Compact and faithful replica

This 1/12 Tamiya kit captures the character of the Ducati Superleggera V4, a limited-edition superbike. The true machine was limited to 500 units, and this model reflects the bike's emphasis on lightness and aerodynamic detail. Carbon-look panels, a lightweight chassis and the distinctive biplane winglets are all replicated on the model.

Key components and accuracy

The Superleggera V4 uses the Desmosedici Stradale R 998cc V4 engine with desmodromic valves, and the kit includes a detailed engine assembly along with a realistic swing arm and front fork. Parts that attach with screws add durability, and removable bodywork lets builders show the internal layout after construction.

Decals recreate the red gradient and carbon motifs, and synthetic rubber tyres complete with Pirelli branding boost realism. Metal transfer details for mirrors and a true-to-scale chain enhance the finished appearance for shelf display.

Build experience and presentation

Designed for hobbyists with an eye for detail, the kit offers realistic brake and tyre features for a rewarding build. The completed model sits well on a shelf or in a cabinet, representing the Superleggera V4s blend of race-derived performance and refined styling.
