Tamiya 14078 1/12 Yamaha YZR500 'Norick' Model Kit  [14078]

Build the Yamaha YZR500 'Norick' in 1/12 Scale

The Tamiya 14078 kit faithfully recreates the Yamaha YZR500 campaigned by Norifumi "Norick" Abe in 1999, offering meticulous representation of the compact 2-stroke 4-cylinder engine. This 1/12 scale assembly highlights Tamiya precision for collectors and modellers who value engine detail.

Frame Assembly and Part Fit

Key elements include separate one-piece parts for the air ducts and engine that help achieve clean seams and precise alignment. The distinctive Delta box frame is secured with small screws for a sturdy build that reflects the original motorcycle's layout. The removable body and seat cowls allow for alternate display options.

Scale Realism and Finishing Touches

Solid rubber tires with genuine tread patterns give an authentic look to the finished bike. The kit also includes brake and ignition line details and waterslide decals, plus clear pictorial instructions to guide a careful build and finish.
