Tamiya 21046 - Ducati Desmosedici '04 No.12 finished display model

This is a finished 1/12 scale display model representing the Ducati Desmosedici '04 No.12, positioned as a detailed display piece within Tamiya's higher-end offerings.

The real Desmosedici '04 is a V4 superbike developed from Ducati's desmodromic valve tradition, combining two 90-degree L-twin banks into a DOHC 16-valve V4 layout housed in a tubular steel truss frame. Introduced in competition in 2003, the machine was campaigned by riders including L. Capirossi and T. Bayliss. Ducati revised the package for 2004 with updates to chassis and bodywork to improve track performance, and the model reflects the era's technical approach and race-focused geometry.

As a finished display model, the product is intended for collectors and display-oriented builders who value presentation-ready pieces. The kit description confirms synthetic rubber tires, removable cowlings, and die-cast metal wheels among its features. Removable body panels allow alternative display arrangements while die-cast wheels add weight and a realistic look to the presentation.

A finished display representation of the Desmosedici '04 No.12 that highlights authentic surface details and metal wheel components, suitable for collectors and display-focused hobbyists.
