What makes the Honda CBR 1100XX Super Blackbird notable

The Honda CBR 1100XX Super Blackbird arrived in 1996 as a benchmark machine, combining roughly 165 horsepower with a top speed beyond 300 km/h. Its streamlined silhouette was refined through wind tunnel testing, and the bike's slim front profile with piggy-back combo headlights is faithfully reproduced in the model.

Detailing and construction highlights

This 1/12 scale Tamiya kit reproduces the Super Blackbird's aerodynamic cowling and the dual-shaft balancer in the engine layout. The parts include shaped air intakes and elements that reflect the original combined braking system, so builders can achieve an authentic look with careful assembly.

Presentation and display advantages

For display collectors, this Tamiya model is a strong choice. Its proportionate lines and mechanical accuracy make it a standout piece on a shelf or in a showcase collection when finished with accurate paint and decal work.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
The kit is mainly a stock plastic build, but experienced modellers sometimes add metal details, photo-etched parts or resin upgrades. Check fit and scale before altering the kit.
This kit is designed for cement or liquid plastic glue for secure joins. Some builders use small screws or pins for custom modifications, but glue is standard for the original build.
Keep the finished model in a dust-free display case away from direct sunlight to protect paint and decals. Stable room temperature helps prevent glue joints from weakening over time.
