Tamiya 56204 - 1/20 YAMAHA 40EX Classic Sailing Kit  [56204]

Scale Replica: Tamiya 56204 YAMAHA 40EX

The Tamiya 56204 YAMAHA 40EX captures the streamlined look of the Yamaha 40EX in a detailed 1/20 scale kit. It is aimed at model sailors who appreciate accurate hull shape and real-sail rigging in a manageable package.

Construction and Materials

This model spans 600mm by 194mm and reaches 1110mm in height, with the mast at 810mm supporting 16.8 square metres of sail area. The blow-moulded ABS hull provides ruggedness on the water, and the aluminium mast and boom, combined with spin cloth sails, give authentic performance and longevity.

Setup and Control Recommendations

Radio gear is not included; the Tamiya 56204 works with a 2-channel, 2-servo setup so you can choose transmitters and servos to match your sailing style. That flexibility helps you optimise control response and servo placement for proper sail trim.

For modellers who enjoy tuning and sail handling, the Tamiya 56204 YAMAHA 40EX presents a rewarding build and realistic on-water behaviour that scales well for smaller clubs and sheltered waters.
