Tamiya 14120 1/12 YZR-M1 2009 Fiat Yamaha Team Estoril Edition Motorcycle Kit  [14120]

Tamiya YZR-M1 2009 Estoril Replica - 1/12 Scale Kit

This is a 1/12 scale plastic assembly kit representing the 2009 YZR-M1 Fiat Yamaha Team Estoril special livery, positioned as a detailed replica for experienced builders and collectors.

The real YZR-M1 campaigned by the Fiat Yamaha Team in 2009 was Yamaha's four-cylinder prototype developed across the season. At the 2009 Portuguese Grand Prix in Estoril the team ran special Fiat-branded liveries as part of a Punto Evo promotion. Riders that weekend included Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, with Lorenzo taking the race win.

As a kit, this release concentrates on exterior accuracy and display potential. Major bodywork shapes, frame arrangement, and suspension elements of the 2009 machine are represented in the parts layout. The kit uses solid synthetic rubber for the front and rear slick tires, and includes Cartograf decals for both No.46 and No.99 liveries. Masking stickers are provided to assist with painting bodywork, and vinyl tubing is supplied to depict throttle, clutch, and brake lines. Small screws are used on selected cowling points so some panels can be removed after assembly, and the fuel tank fairing is also designed to be detachable. A tank pad sheet and a display racing stand are supplied. The kit notes compatibility with a separately available rider figure (Item 14118) and an optional front fork set (Item 16363) for builders seeking additional detail.

A carefully focused replica kit that emphasizes exterior fidelity and display options, suitable for modellers prioritizing livery detail and realistic presentation.
