Tamiya has reproduced the Ducati Superleggera V4 at 1/12 scale, offering a compact but highly accurate model of the limited-run superbike. The original was restricted to 500 examples and features an extreme focus on weight saving and aero details, which this kit reflects through carbon-style panels and the twin winglets.
The real bike is driven by the Desmosedici Stradale R 998cc V4 with desmodromic valves, and the model includes a detailed V4 engine, swing arm and fork assembly. Critical parts fasten securely to the frame with screws, and builders can remove bodywork pieces like the side cowlings and fuel tank to reveal internals.
Decals show the red gradation and carbon patterns, and the kit includes rubber-look tyres branded Pirelli for authenticity. Metal mirror transfers and a well-detailed chain contribute to a realistic finished model suitable for display.
This assembly kit targets modellers familiar with precision work. Brake discs, patterned tyres and fine fittings make for a rewarding build. When complete, the model makes an eye-catching display that reflects the Superleggera V4s technical pedigree.
