Classic 1/12 Yamaha YZR-500 Taira Replica

The Tamiya 14075 - 1/12 Yamaha YZR-500 Taira Version captures the look of the 1983 competition bike, including the two-cycle, water-cooled, four-cylinder engine arrangement that gave it a compact profile. The model emphasises the motorcycle's racing-oriented packaging and low centre of gravity.

Yamaha adopted an aluminium frame design rather than the older double-cradle layout to improve stiffness and reduce weight, and those changes are visible in the model's lines. The kit lets modellers explore the chassis shape and external details that mattered in that era of racing.

Scale: 1/12

Can I display this kit without extra detailing?

Yes, the out-of-the-box assembly and decals give an accurate display model, though adding washes or panel shading will increase realism if you prefer a more lifelike finish.

Is aftermarket detailing available for this scale?

There are general-purpose detail sets and photo-etched parts made for 1/12 motorcycle kits; check specialist suppliers for compatible upgrades if you want finer detail.
