Take a Closer Look at the Tamiya 1/6 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Kit

The Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin arrived in 2015 and quickly found favor with riders who value a balance of on-road comfort and off-road capability. Its durable engineering and rally heritage make it a popular subject for scale model builders and collectors.

Rally Roots and Endurance Racing

The Paris-Dakar legacy pushed manufacturers to craft machines that survive extreme conditions. Honda began serious Dakar involvement in the early 1980s, and lessons from their rally machines influenced the Africa Twin's rugged character and long-distance capability.

What the Kit Offers

This 1/6 scale Tamiya model reproduces the CRF1000L with careful attention to proportion and detail. Finished dimensions are 390mm long, 158mm wide and 255mm tall, providing a substantial model that displays well on a shelf or in a glass case.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/6
  • Length: 390mm
  • Width: 158mm
  • Height: 255mm

Build Experience and Display Appeal

The kit includes realistic touches such as twin headlights, a detailed suspension layout and a drive-chain assembly. Metal components add strength where needed, and the finished model makes an excellent centrepiece for a motorcycle collection.

How difficult is this kit for a hobbyist?

The kit is aimed at experienced model builders. Small metal parts and precise assembly steps mean you should have some prior kit experience and basic tools like fine files and hobby glue.

Do I need special paints or are parts pre-finished?

Several components come pre-painted, but finishing touches and certain panels benefit from matching hobby paints to achieve authentic colour and weathering effects.

What scale accessories fit this model?

Common 1/6 scale accessories such as display stands, rider figures and luggage sets will suit the model. Check proportions to keep the overall look balanced.
