Tamiya 14119 YZR-M1 09 Monster Yamaha Tech3 Collector Kit 1/12  [14119]

Introduction to the YZR-M1 09 Monster Yamaha Tech3 Kit

The 2009 Tech3 machines were notable for their black livery with white and fluorescent yellow accents after Monster Energy became the main sponsor. Tamiya has modelled that season in 1/12 scale, allowing hobbyists to recreate the striking race bike at home.

Scale Realism in Chassis and Engine

This Tamiya kit faithfully reproduces the twin-tube delta box frame and the inline-4 engine layout, offering realistic mechanical detail. The kit includes vinyl tubing for control lines and synthetic rubber tyres for an accurate presentation. Side fairings and the fuel tank cover are removable to show the model's internal components.

Enhancements and Livery Reproduction

Builders can upgrade the suspension presentation with the Yamaha YZR-M1 '09 Front Fork Set (Item 12636) if desired. Cartograph decals are provided to ensure a clean, authentic Tech3 finish.
