Tamiya 300014068 Ducati 14068 916

Very good.

Amazing price excellent quality Awsome detail

Loved making this model , looks good on my shelf . Would recommend Tamiya model kits , the instructions are easy to follow and precise.

I have only rated on value for money because it seems a reasonable price its a gift for a man who loves moto GP but it looks good & I am sure he will be pleased

I have built two of these Tamiya 916s: one box-stock when it was released and one this year which I corrected, detailed, and converted into the Senna special edition. By way of a review, I will give you a few pointers about what to watch out for and what you may like to improve as you build it.Time spent on preparation is very worthwhile. Take extra care with the seam along the upper bodywork; the fit of the brake light surround; the weak join in the front mudguard; and the finish around the fork components and silencers. The work to clean up these very visible parts makes a good primer essential. Watch for a couple of engine parts which have very similar versions on a reissued sprue. Tamiya could have laminated the coil spring, but you have to paint it yourself, which is a pain to do neatly. The chain has a nasty seam which needs careful scraping.Since the kit’s release, Tamiya has added two titanium colours which may be useful to you in reducing the number of mixes; but it really benefits from some metal paints. Several colour calls are inaccurate and unrealistic, so check the web for photos, and the engine warrants some detailed painting which the instructions miss. It looks like Tamiya modelled the kit on the show bike, which had an 888 engine and a few detail differences to production models.Visible but fixable errors include the shape of the clutch casing, timing belt cover, thick brake hoses, and the hose mounts on the front callipers. The carburettor part is wrong, but not visible. Some of the more obvious missing details, such as wiring looms, throttle cable, and a coolant tank, can be easily scratch-built.Whether any of that matters to you is ultimately your choice.Given that some manufacturers struggle to match the quality of this 21 year old kit, the shortcomings are easy to forgive. Most are not serious and all but one are fixable if you want to. With a couple of important exceptions, the fit is good and clean-up is fairly easy. The shape and dimensions look about right for the most part. With careful preparation, building, and colour choices, a box-stock build can produce a very tidy model; but if you can make a few improvements, you could have a real showpiece which rivals almost any modern kit.

Another great tamiya kit, beautiful recreation of a stunning motorcycle. Easy construction

Only my 2nd bike, was frustrating at times but went together very well and a good result

Nice simple model for beginners
