Overview of the Tamiya 1/12 Honda Dax125 (14142)

The Tamiya 1/12 Honda Dax125 model kit recreates the compact minibike that first captured attention in 1969. With its distinctive T-bone frame and friendly proportions, the Dax remains a favourite among collectors. The 2022 Dax125 iteration blends vintage styling with contemporary touches.

Why the Dax is memorable

Built to be practical and fun, the original Dax was easy to ride around town or on longer runs. The model reflects key Dax traits such as the chrome upswept exhaust and long bench seat, reminiscent of colourways like pearl nebula red and pearl cadet gray found on the production bikes.

Details of the limited run

At the 2023 Bangkok International Motor Show the Tamiya Limited Edition made an impression with a metallic blue paint scheme, Tamiya twin star decals and checkered motifs. This special release includes a Dachshund-decorated horn cover, dedicated serial plates and an exclusive helmet marked with the Tamiya logo.

How long does assembly usually take?

Assembly time depends on experience, but plan for several evenings. Metal-plated parts need careful handling and painting adds extra time for drying.

Is this kit suitable for display only or can it be handled?

The finished model is primarily a display item. While robust when assembled correctly, delicate details like the vinyl pipes and plated parts should be handled with care.

Can I upgrade parts for extra realism?

Yes, advanced modellers often add aftermarket detailing, alternate finishes or custom paint to increase realism. Ensure any upgrades match the kit scale and attachment points.
