1/12 Yamaha YZR-500 Taira - Period Racing Replica

The Tamiya 14075 - 1/12 Yamaha YZR-500 Taira Version reproduces the celebrated machine that starred in the 1983 All Japan Road Race with careful attention to period engineering. The kit references the two-cycle, water-cooled, four-cylinder engine layout that defined the bike's performance and its distinctive low center of gravity.

Yamaha moved to an aluminium frame instead of the old double-cradle approach, giving the YZR-500 a lighter, stiffer chassis for racing. This model kit lets hobbyists study the asymmetrical frame cues and the compact packaging that helped the YZR-500 succeed on the track.

Scale: 1/12
Material: Plastic
Assembly Type: Requires assembly and painting
Engine Detail: Non-visible

How visible is the engine on this kit?

The engine is modelled for accuracy, but much of it becomes hidden once the bodywork is fitted; the kit focuses on the external shape and chassis layout rather than a fully exposed engine bay.

Are decals provided for the authentic livery?

Yes, the kit includes decals that replicate the original racing graphics so you can recreate the Taira Version paint scheme with accurate markings.
