Tamiya 24256 1/24 Yamaha TMAX Scooter Model Kit with Figure  [24256]

Overview of the Tamiya 1/24 Yamaha TMAX Kit

The Tamiya 1/24 Yamaha TMAX kit gives model builders a chance to assemble a finely detailed miniature of this modern scooter. The real Yamaha TMAX blends scooter convenience with motorcycle-like stability, featuring a liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder 499cc engine mounted low under the rider's feet to improve balance.

Model Build Notes and Real-World Context

This kit reflects the distinctive silhouette that helped the TMAX win the 2001 Good Design Award. Engineered with snap-on components, the assembly is approachable for newcomers while still engaging for experienced modellers. Body panels and chassis are moulded in correct tones, so painting is not necessary for an accurate finish.

Scale and Display Characteristics

At 1/24 scale the finished model measures 93.5mm long and 32mm wide, making it a compact display piece. Clear parts for the screen and headlights plus translucent red rear lights and indicators add depth to the appearance. A rider figure is included to complete the scene on a shelf or in a diorama.
