About product

Yamaha XV1000 Virago 1:12 (Tamiya)

This injection-molded plastic kit from the Japanese manufacturer Tamiya captures the Yamaha XV1000 Virago road motorcycle in 1:12 scale. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. In the box you will find parts molded in black and silver, chrome-plated and clear parts, small screws, springs and brake lines as well as a decal sheet. The combination of materials makes it possible to build a faithful replica even without advanced added detail.

The real subject

The Yamaha Virago was a line of cruisers of American cut with a low seating position, pulled-back handlebars and forward-set footrests. The XV1000 was powered by an air-cooled V-twin of almost a liter, and the power was transmitted by an enclosed drive shaft instead of a chain, which is typical of this kind of motorcycle and undemanding to maintain.

Building and painting tips

With motorcycles the order of assembly and a smooth glossy finish on the tank and the fenders are what count. Glue the chrome-plated parts carefully with cyanoacrylate so that the surface is not dulled. The engine, the frame and the exhausts deserve toning with metallic shades and a fine wash. Brake lines and small screws will give the finished replica scale fidelity.

  • For collectors of road motorcycles in 1:12 scale
  • For lovers of cruisers and of the Yamaha brand
  • For modelers who appreciate chrome, clear parts and detailed fitting out
