Tamiya is pleased to announce that the Honda CBR1000RR FIREBLADE SP with special colouring to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first generation “FIREBLADE” has been added to the 1:12 scale motorbike line-up.
This kit is based on the 14138 Honda CBR1000RR FIREBLADE SP presented in 2020.
The Honda CBR900RR FIREBLADE presented in 1992 impressed with its innovation, its exceptional power, handling and size enabled the development of a whole new genre of sports bikes. In 2019, Honda announced the CBR1000RR FIREBLADE (the third “R” in its name stands for “race”) as the first complete update of the FIREBLADE in twelve years, and this version features an extraordinary motorbike design with a highly circuit-oriented feel and plenty of race technology: 218 hp high-performance triple engine inner fairings.
Last year was the 30th anniversary of the first FIREBLADE motorbike and Honda announced the release of the special CBR1000RR FIREBLADE SP 30th anniversary version. With numerous performance upgrades, one of its highlights is the tricolour livery inspired by the CBR900RR coordinated around a pearl white base colour with elegant red and blue accents. Additional goodies include dedicated 30th anniversary logos on the tank top and silencer, an engraved serial number on the top yoke plate and a stunning ring of fire graphic on the LCD instrument panel when on.

Model features:
– Model assembly kit in 1/12 scale. Length: 176mm (191mm including stand), width: 68mm, height: 96mm (97mm including stand).
– The aerodynamically refined shape of the CBR1000RR FIREBLADE SP is stylishly reproduced, including rendering of the inner fins in the side fairings.
– High-quality Cartograf decals faithfully depict red and blue elements of the elegant tricolour livery.
– The Akrapovic silencer is a slide-moulded component with integrated silencer sections.
– The fuel tank and fairing are also slide-moulded, helping to reproduce their complex shapes in style.

A highly functional dry type joins the familiar Tamiya T-shirt with red and blue twin stars printed on a white background. The first high-performance material is the use of “Polygiene” processed fibers. In addition to suppressing the growth of bacteria that cause sweat odor and preventing odor from the beginning, the point is that the effect lasts semi-permanently even after repeated washing. The second function is to block ultraviolet rays (UV) that are harmful to the skin. And the third is the water absorption and quick drying function. Uses 100% polyester honeycomb (honeycomb) mesh material to quickly absorb and dry sweat. The surface is glossy, and the 2 cm wide rib around the neck keeps the style. Of course, it doesn’t smell bad even when you sweat, and it’s always light and comfortable to the touch. In addition, twin stars are printed on the chest and back to appeal to model fans. There are 8 types of sizes from 130 to XXXL. You’re sure to find the perfect size for kids, ladies, and men.

★Material: 100% polyester ★Color: White What

“Polygiene Processing”? An antibacterial and deodorant processing technology that suppresses the growth of microorganisms and bacteria using natural silver ions. Suppresses the growth of odor-causing bacteria and kills more than 99% of bacteria within 24 hours.

German main battle tanks that have started delivery
The Leopard 2 was developed in West Germany in the 1970s and became the main battle tank of the German Bundeswehr. Among them, the A6 has significantly improved its offensive and defensive capabilities and has achieved further modernization. The turret’s wedge-shaped additional armor and the commander’s panorama sight equipped with a thermal imaging device were inherited from the previous A5, and the main gun’s 120mm smoothbore gun was extended to 55 caliber. The muzzle muzzle velocity and armor penetration have been greatly enhanced by increasing the barrel length to more than 1 meter. The A6, which began to be deployed in 2001, has earned trust by operating a type with its own renovation in Greece and Canada. And in January 2023, the German government announced the provision of its own A6 to support the Ukrainian army against the invasion of the Russian army.
