Tamiya 1/12 Ducati Superleggera V4
Announced in February 2020, Ducati's Superleggera V4 utilizes the Panigale V4 as a base and features a strong focus upon lightness: cowlings, frame, swing arm and wheels are carbon fibre components, while power is supplied by a 998cc V4 engine that - in conjunction with an Akrapovic circuit exhaust - gives an impressive 234hp output. Highly distinctive "biplane wings" on the front cowl give the Superleggera V4 a strong visual identity and contribute to an impressive 50kg of downforce at 270km/h. Only 500 of the full size Superleggera V4 were available for purchase, making this crystallization of Ducati's engineering and aerodynamic expertise an elusive catch indeed.

Rear of the bike featuring a swing arm attached on one side. Four biplane wing aero devices on the front are reminiscent of a MotoGP bike, and are recreated in style. Cowls and undercover can be removed after completion of the model to admire the design beneath. Depictions of the 998cc engine and the fuel tank are screw-attached to the model's frame. Finely drilled brake rotors and brembo caliper. The chain comes in left and right halves, allowing our designers to pack it with detail. Solid tires are moulded in synthetic rubber and feature realistic tread. The silencer shape blends expertly into the lines of the undercowl, for which a carbon fibre effect decal is included. Steering damper and engine-top airbox. Air tunnels on either side of the seat cowl are another fascinating design point. Clear parts are included to recreate the rear light and turn signals. A moving side stand allows depiction of a parked bike. A full complement of decals includes side cowl gradation and tire logos, and is joined by masking stickers and metal transfers.
