Explore the Tamiya 1/6 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Replica

Launched in 2015, the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin blends touring capability with off-road grit. Its design reflects decades of endurance racing experience, making it a rewarding subject for scale modelling enthusiasts.

Dakar Influence and Toughness

The original Paris-Dakar challenges machines with sand, rock and heat, and Honda's rally background has informed the Africa Twin's durability and long-range focus. That DNA shows through in the model's proportions and detailing.

Kit Highlights

Tamiya's 1/6 scale kit reproduces the CRF1000L with precise proportions. The completed model measures 390mm in length, 158mm across and stands 255mm tall, offering an impressive presence for display cabinets.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/6
  • Length: 390mm
  • Width: 158mm
  • Height: 255mm
  • Material: Metal screws and shafts, synthetic rubber tyres
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Pre-painted components included

Assembly Notes and Showcase Value

The model features realistic twin lamps, a suspension setup that mirrors the real bike and a detailed drive-chain. Metal parts improve longevity, and the finished build makes an eye-catching exhibit among motorcycle models.

Is this suitable for someone new to modelling?

Beginners can attempt it, but expect fine assembly steps. Start with simpler kits first or take your time and use magnification for small parts.

How should I care for the rubber tyres?

Avoid storing the model in direct sunlight and keep tyres away from solvents and heat sources to prevent hardening and deformation.

Are there recommended glue types?

Use hobby cements designed for plastic kits and small applicators for metal-to-plastic joins. Cyanoacrylate can be used sparingly on metal parts if needed.
