Kawasaki Ninja ZX 12R motorcycle in 1/12 scale. Tamiya reference 14084.

Model to assemble and paint. Paints and glue not included.

Recreated fairing with semi-transparent parts.
A special feature of this model: semi-transparent green parts were used for the fairing, offering a fascinating glimpse of the aluminium monocoque frame and detailed engine, even after the model was finished. It's a great opportunity to discover the inner workings of Kawasaki's latest masterpiece! Unpainted. In addition, the brake lights are available in semi-transparent red parts and the turn signals in semi-transparent orange pieces. These colors harmonize perfectly with those of the full-size motorcycle. Finally, metal stickers have been used for the mirrors and front fork, providing a high-quality look even without paint!

About the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R.
Kawasaki's heritage of cutting-edge sports motorcycles has inspired motorcycle fans for generations. Recently, the demand for super sports motorcycles at more than 300 km/h has prompted several manufacturers to release powerful competitors. Kawasaki answered the call at the 1999 Paris Motor Show, with the impressive launch of its all-new Ninja ZX-12R. This Ninja would have been created in the image of a fighter jet, which is hardly surprising since its aerodynamic aerodynamics were developed in collaboration with the aerospace division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. In fact, the ZX-12R spent more time in the wind tunnel during its development phase than any other bike in Kawasaki's history. The results are obvious: small fins on the sides of the fairing separate the airflow around the bike; small air deflectors on the lower forks divert turbulent air away from the engine; A long lip on the edge of the fairing smooths the airflow even further. In addition, just in front of the front fascia, a large bailer benefits from higher air pressure, thus improving intake efficiency. The monocoque structure of the frame creates an airbox that allows air to flow inside the bike for cooling, while also ensuring overall rigidity. The engine of the Ninja ZX-12R is a 1,199 cc 4-cylinder engine with a generous 178 hp. Its four-in-two-in-one exhaust system features a titanium muffler paired with a catalytic converter, which helps remove unburned hydrocarbons for cleaner emissions. Kawasaki has brilliantly raised the standard for superbike performance, power and aerodynamics with its flagship model, the Ninja ZX-12R.
