Tamiya 14121 - 1/12 Scale Honda NSR500 84 Heritage Model Kit  [14121]

Tamiya 14121 recreates the 1984 Honda NSR500 racing machine

The Honda NSR500 played a key role in 1980s Grand Prix racing, introducing important engineering advances after the NS500. Its V4 engine layout and aluminium frame allowed Honda to reposition expansion chambers and the fuel tank around the engine, creating a compact and performance-focused arrangement. The 1984 season served as a development period for the machine while setting up later championship successes.

Accurate 1/12 scale representation

This Tamiya 1/12 scale kit captures the NSR500s core details for model builders. The set reproduces the aluminium frame and fuel tank faithfully and includes vinyl tubing to represent the bike's fuel lines and wiring. Assembly offers a detailed and engaging build that appeals to collectors and modellers alike.

Build features and display options

The kit offers realistic touches such as detachable front cowling, expansion chamber cover, and seat cowling that can be removed after construction. The model features a movable Pro-Link rear suspension with a coil spring and a swing arm with truss detailing. For added realism, an optional front fork set is available separately from Tamiya.
