What a surprise to learn of Tamiya's announcement of adding a new option to its catalogue for the Ducati Superleggera V4, equipped with all the elements of its competition kit. This scale model kit faithfully reproduces the Ducati Superleggera V4 with all the parts included in the competition kit supplied by the brand itself. In this way, we find the
Akrapovic competition exhaust, which is assembled precisely thanks to the ergonomic breakdown of its parts, with the
clutch and its open carbon fibre cover, which comes in two parts for easy painting, covers for the mounting holes of the side mirrors, since they are not assembled, the
protection for the brake lever, the
competition cap for the fuel tank, the carbon fibre
swingarm cover, with the fibre patterns included in the decal sheet, and the
new covers for the right and left fairings. Tamiya also worked on the decals to faithfully reproduce the subtle red and carbon fiber
gradation patterns on the fairings, as well as the Akrapovic logos on the exhaust and carbon swingarm. To complete the kit and recreate the track version, it comes with
slick tires and a racing stand.

Paints recommended by Tamiya / SpotModel for this product:
Ducati itself offers a race kit for its Superleggera V4, which includes numerous parts to ensure this beast of the road is safely on the track. Parts such as a new race-spec fuel tank cap, a brake lever guard, a carbon fiber swingarm cover with a titanium slider, a spectacular high-performance Akrapovic titanium race exhaust, and an open carbon fiber clutch cover. Some things have also been removed, so the license plate holder and side mirrors have been eliminated.
The engine also improves slightly in performance, reaching an impressive 234 hp, which, combined with the reduced weight of just 152.2 kg, allows for an astonishing power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 kg/hp.
SpotModel recommends this product exclusively for experienced professional modellers and collectors. Take appropriate precautions as this product is not a toy, it can be toxic and/or dangerous. Keep away from children. Use is not allowed for children under 14 years.

It is likely that the first model kit you assembled or that caught your attention was from the Japanese brand
Tamiya, which has been delighting us for several decades with great plastic models featuring both excellent fit and detail. Formula 1, street and racing motorcycles, modern MotoGP, rally and street cars, powerful supercars or small Japanese utility vehicles,
Tamiya have references in any of the above categories. For every taste!
