Tamiya 14133 1/12 Scale Yamaha YZF-R1M Motorcycle Model Kit - Detailed Display Build  [14133]

Tamiya 14133 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1M Kit Overview

The Yamaha YZF-R1M reflects Yamaha's race-bred engineering and MotoGP influence. Its 200hp 998cc four-cylinder powerplant and advanced electronics define the full-size bike, and the Tamiya 1/12 scale kit reproduces the R1M's lines and mechanical cues for model fans who value authenticity.

Assembly and Presentation Tips for the YZF-R1M

This Tamiya kit features finely moulded parts that mirror carbon cowls and the streamlined fairing of the real machine. Builders will find the pieces fit precisely, making for a satisfying assembly that results in a true-to-life display model. For the best finish, use recommended Tamiya Color paints and take time on seams and panel gaps.

Painting and Weathering Options

To match the R1M's factory look, consider Tamiya TS-51 Racing Blue and LP-11 Silver among the suggested colours. Weathering sets can be used to subtlety darken exhaust areas and add realistic metal tones, giving depth to the final model without overdoing it.
