Take a closer look at the Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1 model

The 1997 Yamaha YZF-R1 reshaped supersport expectations by combining compact chassis packaging with a potent 1000cc engine. Tamiya captures that combination in a 1/12 scale model, offering a compact but detailed replica for model enthusiasts and collectors.

Miniature engineering and chassis detail

The R1's focus on cornering and balance is reflected in a Deltabox II aluminum frame and an EXUP-style exhaust on the real machine. This kit models those elements in scale, including the long-span swing arm and inverted fork, so builders can recreate the bike's performance-oriented look.

Display-ready styling for model collectors

With faithfully modelled fairings and multi-reflector lights, the kit makes an appealing display subject. It caters to builders who enjoy precise assembly and realistic finishing, making it a standout addition to a collection of classic bikes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
This is a static scale model intended for display. It does not include electronics or running components found in RC kits.
Use standard plastic model cement for larger joins and a thin cyanoacrylate for small detail parts. Work in a well ventilated area.
Masking and layering are recommended: prime the parts, paint the frame and engine separately, then assemble. Fine brushwork helps bring out mechanical detail.
Assembly time varies with experience and finishing choices. Expect several evenings for straightforward builds and longer if you add custom painting or detailing.
Choose a dust-free display case and position lighting to highlight the fairing shapes and reflective surfaces. A simple base or stand keeps the model stable and presentable.
