Yamaha YZR-M1 2005 1/12 scale display kit Tamiya 14116 No.46/No.5  [14116]

Compact 1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 (2005) by Tamiya 14116

This 1/12 scale plastic model reproduces the 2005 Yamaha YZR-M1 as a static display kit aimed at seasoned builders and collectors who want an accurate replica.

The 2005 YZR-M1 featured a 990 cc four-stroke inline-four engine and a revised chassis and fuel tank layout to lower the centre of gravity. Technical tweaks that year improved handling and stability and supported the factory race efforts during the season. The model is noted for its compact layout and rider-focused ergonomics from that era.

The kit focuses on external accuracy for the 2005 specification and includes separate moulded parts for the frame, body panels, and suspension. Synthetic rubber tyres are supplied to enhance visual and tactile realism. Decals cover the two rider numbers offered with the release. Assembly will require standard modelling tasks such as trimming, dry-fitting, and painting to achieve the desired finish.

Designed for experienced hobbyists, this 1/12 replica reproduces the exterior features of the 2005 Yamaha YZR-M1 and provides rider-specific decals and realistic rubber tyres for display models.
