This 1/12 scale plastic assembly kit represents the 2009 YZR-M1 Fiat Yamaha Team Estoril special livery, produced as a display-oriented model for seasoned hobbyists and collectors.
The YZR-M1 run by the Fiat Yamaha Team in 2009 was a development of Yamaha's four-cylinder prototype used during that season. At the 2009 Portuguese Grand Prix in Estoril the squad ran special Fiat-branded liveries tied to the Punto Evo promotion. Riders that weekend included Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, with Lorenzo taking victory.
The kit places emphasis on external form and display options. Key body shapes, frame positions, and visible suspension components from the 2009 bike are reflected in the parts layout. Solid synthetic rubber is used for the front and rear slick tyres, and Cartograf decal sheets are included for No.46 and No.99 liveries. Masking stickers help with paint work, and vinyl tubing is provided to represent throttle, clutch, and brake lines. Small screws are fitted to selected cowlings so certain panels can be removed after assembly, and the fuel tank fairing is designed to be detachable. A tank pad sheet and a racing display stand are provided. The kit lists compatibility with a separately available rider figure (Item 14118) and an optional front fork set (Item 16363) for those wanting extra detailing.
A display-focused replica kit that emphasises livery accuracy and removable panel options for modelers who value presentation.
