Tamiya 14131 Kawasaki Ninja H2R 1:12 Scale Kit

From a show-stopping debut at the INTERMOT show in Cologne in 2014 to later reports of a top speed over 400km/h, the Ninja H2R closed course motorcycle has never been far from the headlines. Its Japanese maker Kawasaki aimed to provide hitherto unexperienced acceleration in its development, going about it by teaming up a 300hp-plus liquid-cooled 998cc inline-4 engine with a centrifugal supercharger, and mounting them in a tubing trellis frame. Four carbon fibre wings on the sleek, angular cowls provide not only an aesthetic treat but also stability at the Ninja H2R's extreme speeds, while the bike boasts cutting edge tech such as traction control, engine brake control, a quick shifter and more. Don't miss your chance to build this expertly moulded model of a mould-breaking bike!

The liquid-cooled inline-4 engine and supercharger are depicted in fine detail. Accurate recreations of the elegant trellis frame and aggressive cowls capture the essence of the bike in breathtaking accuracy. The engine, swing arm, cowls and more are screw-attached to the trellis frame. The solid synthetic rubber slicks add an extra layer of authenticity. Metal-plated parts recreate exhaust, silencer, tail light case and more. The name logo and front cowl Kawasaki river mark emblem are depicted using metal transfers. It comes with racing stand parts.

The screw-fixed cowl parts can be removed after assembly to see the inner workings! Accurately renders the distinctive ram air duct which takes air from the twin front intakes and supplies it to the supercharger.

The complex lines of the trellis frame are depicted with aplomb, as is the multi-part air intake chamber above the engine. Excellent decals ensure that the instrumentation on the analog-digital mix display has a sharp finish in tune with the rest of the model. Don't forget the racing slick tires, an absolute necessity for the high-speed closed circuit Ninja H2R. Racing stand parts also included.

Nylon mesh is included in the kit to recreate with realism the twin intakes that feed air into the ram air duct. An authentic rendering of the tail light is achieved with a combination of metal-plated and clear parts. Decals depict markings such as the distinctive green cowl stripes. Metal transfers depict logos and river mark.

This model measures 172mm (length) by 70mm (width) by 97mm (height).

It can be best displayed using the Tamiya 73005 display case D.
