Tamiya 14119 - 1/12 Scale YZR-M1 09 Monster Yamaha Tech3 Model Kit  [14119]

Capturing the Essence of the YZR-M1 09 Monster Yamaha Tech3

The 2009 season was a transformative year for the Monster Yamaha Tech3 team, highlighted by their partnership with Monster Energy as the main sponsor. The YZR-M1 bikes were strikingly adorned in black with white and fluorescent yellow graphics, a stark contrast to the works team’s Pearl White and Metallic Blue. This model kit from Tamiya captures the essence of that season's machine, offering enthusiasts a chance to recreate the iconic bike in 1/12 scale.

Authentic Details and Realism

This Tamiya kit is designed with precision, featuring a twin-tube delta box frame and an 800cc inline-4 engine, both meticulously reproduced for accuracy. The inclusion of vinyl tubing for throttle, clutch, and brake cables enhances the model's realism, while synthetic rubber tires provide an authentic finish. Builders can appreciate the removable side fairings and fuel tank cover, which allow a closer inspection of the bike's intricate details.

Enhanced Modeling Experience

For those looking to add even more detail, Tamiya offers the Yamaha YZR-M1 '09 Front Fork Set (Item 12636) as an optional enhancement. This addition allows modelers to further customize their build, showcasing the suspension system in a compressed state. The included Cartograph decals ensure a high-quality finish, replicating the original livery with precision.
