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 raced by the Fiat Yamaha Team in 2009 was a development of Yamaha's four-cylinder prototype used throughout the season. At the 2009 Portuguese Grand Prix in Estoril the team ran special Fiat-branded liveries as part of a promotion for the Punto Evo. Riders that weekend included Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, with Lorenzo taking the race win.
As a kit, this release focuses on exterior accuracy and displayability. Major bodywork shapes, frame layout, 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 help 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 focused replica kit that emphasizes external accuracy and display options, suitable for modelers who prioritize livery detail and realistic presentation.
