It pushes the boundaries of motorcycle engineering with extensive use of carbon fibre in the frame, swing arm, bodywork and wheels. This Tamiya kit faithfully captures that exclusivity in miniature form. The inclusion of the racing kit parts gives builders the freedom to present the model in road or track configuration. The detail in the engine, open panels, chain, and brake system invites close inspection and offers an engaging build experience for experienced modellers. Reviewers note that the use of magnets and removable panels is clever, but precise fitting and care are required. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBegin by carefully trimming parts from sprues with side cutters. Clean up edges and test fit before gluing. Use plastic cement for frame, panels and internal parts. Paint components according to the instructions (use masking and fine brush or airbrush). Apply decals and metal transfers. Use the optional racing parts if desired. Once finished, display on its included stand or base in a showcase or with other scale models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eThis is a plastic model kit. Assembly is required.
