1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 05 Display Kit Tamiya 14116 No.46/No.5  [14116]

Detailed 1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 (2005) static kit — Tamiya 14116

This plastic model kit recreates the 2005 Yamaha YZR-M1 in 1/12 scale, intended as a static display assembly for experienced modellers and collectors who prioritise accuracy.

The 2005 machine featured a 990 cc inline four-cylinder four-stroke engine and incorporated a revised chassis and fuel tank to lower the centre of gravity. During that season, several handling and stability refinements were introduced to aid race performance. The YZR-M1 from this era is recognised for its compact packaging and rider-centric ergonomics.

The kit concentrates on external detail for the 2005 spec and supplies separate plastic parts for the frame, bodywork and suspension. Synthetic rubber tyres are supplied to improve the model's authentic appearance and feel. The included decals provide marking options for both rider numbers. Assembly will typically involve trimming parts, dry-fitting and painting to replicate reference finishes.

Targeted at experienced builders, this 1/12 replica captures the exterior detail of the 2005 Yamaha YZR-M1 and includes rider-specific decals and rubber tyres for realistic display results.
