Tamiya 14065 1/12 Suzuki GSX1100S Katana - Custom Tuned Replica

The Suzuki GSX1100S Katana made a strong impression at the 1980 Cologne Motor Show, and this Tamiya 1/12 scale kit recreates that iconic silhouette with careful attention. This kit is aimed at hobbyists who want an accurate, display-ready model with custom tuned styling.

Accurate Mechanical Detail

The model reproduces the air-cooled 4-cylinder DOHC engine and the fine cooling fins with close fidelity. Builders will find parts that mirror the real bike, including the front-mounted oil cooler and the distinctive Katana exhaust layout, all contributing to a convincing finished model.

Faithful Custom Components

Tamiya has modelled custom brake assemblies and related hardware, such as the large diameter front rotor with 4-pod calipers and the smaller floating rear caliper. These pieces help convey the modified look without sacrificing historical accuracy.

I've used rcjaz a few times now mainly for Tamiya motorcycles, I'm always amazed how quickly items arrive and their prices compared to other sites. Great company and I recommend them highly

great service! thank you
This kit has fine detail that rewards patience. A beginner can complete it, but expect to work carefully on small parts and to use basic modelling tools like fine knives, sandpaper and tweezers.
Use plastic model cement for structural joins and thin acrylic or enamel paints for bodywork. For fine detail, enamel washes and a clear coat will enhance panel lines and decals.
Yes. After applying the waterslide decals, use a flat or satin varnish and light weathering techniques like pinwashes and drybrushing to age the finish subtly.
