Tamiya Ducati Desmosedici [1:12]
Item No: 14101

The Ducati Desmosedici, a true symbol of Italian engineering and style, is now faithfully reproduced in 1/12 scale by Tamiya. Measuring 173 mm in length, this plastic assembly model kit captures the essence of Ducati’s legendary MotoGP machine, known for its powerful performance and unique design. The model features the Desmosedici’s trademark design, including the DOHC 16 V4 engine composed of two 90-degree L twin components housed within a tubular steel truss frame. The rear suspension swing arm is directly attached to the engine, replicating the bike’s distinctive construction.

To enhance realism, the model includes meticulously reproduced accelerator, clutch, and brake wiring, depicted using plastic tubing. The synthetic rubber tires are designed to resemble authentic racing slicks. Both side and seat cowling parts can be removed after assembly, offering a full view of the detailed engine. The kit includes high-quality Cartograf decals for both L. Capirossi’s No. 65 bike and Troy Bayliss’s No. 12 bike, with separate parts to accurately depict each rider’s custom seat. This ensures that modelers can recreate either bike with attention to detail.
