Tamiya 21029 - Telefonica Movistar Honda RC211V (Daijiro Kato) 1/12

This product is a 1/12 scale plastic assembly kit positioned in Tamiya's Masterwork Collection, intended to reproduce the external form and race livery of the Telefonica Movistar Honda RC211V ridden by Daijiro Kato.

The real Honda RC211V was developed by Honda as a purpose-built, four-stroke V5 racing motorcycle introduced in the early 2000s to replace two-stroke predecessors. Its V5 engine layout and lightweight chassis were engineered for high-revving power and agility on road circuits. The machine was campaigned by factory and satellite entries and is notable for its role in the transition to four-stroke race prototypes in that era.

As a kit entry in the Masterwork Collection, this release focuses on an accurate external silhouette and period livery. Builders can expect a representation of the bike's fairing shapes, bodywork lines, and race-specific paint scheme as seen on Daijiro Kato's machine. Construction will involve conventional plastic part assembly and painting to match the registered sponsor graphics. The kit suits modelers who prioritize display accuracy of surface details and overall proportions rather than internal mechanical replication.

This kit provides a scale representation of a historically significant racing motorcycle livery, intended for modelers and collectors focused on accurate external appearance and display presentation.
