Tamiya 14086 - Yamaha YZR500 Tech 3 2001 Scale Model Kit  [14086]

Recreating the 2001 Yamaha YZR500 Tech 3 in 1/12 Scale

The Tamiya 14086 - 1/12 Yamaha YZR500 Tech 3 2001 model kit gives hobbyists the chance to build a faithful replica of the notable WGP contender from 2001. The kit references the bikes campaigned by Olivier Jacque and Shinya Nakano and highlights the era's race livery and silhouette.

The original YZR500 featured a water-cooled V4 layout and a light aluminium frame, details that this kit reproduces for close-up viewing. Builders will find accurate bodywork, a sculpted front cowling and treaded tyres that mirror the bike's track-focused setup.

Beyond assembly, this model lets collectors enjoy the engineering and race heritage of the Tech 3 outfit. Tamiya quality ensures crisp molding and fit, making this a rewarding project for experienced modellers.
