Tamiya 14140 1/12 Ducati Superleggera V4 - Race-inspired scale model

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.

Model contents and faithful touches

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.

Construction guidance and display options

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Length: 176mm (with racing stand: 198mm)
  • Height: 98mm
  • Material: Carbon fiber, synthetic rubber
  • Assembly Type: Requires cement and paint
  • Decals: Included
Standard modelling tools are sufficient: plastic cement, fine paintbrushes or an airbrush, hobby knife, tweezers and sanding supplies. A pin vise can help with precise drilling where needed.
Parts are unpainted. You will need to paint components and apply decals yourself to achieve the finished appearance shown on the box art.
While the kit is highly detailed out of the box, some builders fit aftermarket photo-etched or resin parts to enhance small details like footpegs or brake lines. Check compatibility before purchasing upgrades.
Keep the model away from direct sunlight and dust. A display case or cabinet will protect the paint, decals and delicate parts from damage over time.
Decals and metal transfers require careful placement. Use a decal softener for complex surfaces and position transfers carefully before sealing with a clear coat for longevity.
