Tamiya 21046 - Desmosedici'04 No.12 Finish  [21046]

Today's Italian MotoGP Thoroughbred

Desmosedici is a compound term created from the Italian for sixteen, "sedici" and also the name of Ducati's trademark desmodromic valve design. The DOHC 16 V4 engine is composed of two 90 degree L double components held together in a tubular steel truss-frame, with swing arm and rear surprise pivots straight attached with motor in a initial fashion. The sleek and effective bicycle was piloted in its first 2003 MotoGP period by L. Capirossi, former 125 and 250cc class title holder, and World Superbike Champion T. Bayliss. The GP4 actually showed its material during its 2003 first period, using third destination at Suzuka and winning first at Catalunya. Maintaining equivalent basic framework in 2004, Ducati brushed up sets from the engine toward human anatomy to make a straight greater performance superbike. Whilst the Desmosedici GP4 had a difficult first half the summer season, it began to show outcomes towards the end, with L. Capirossi winning third destination in circular 15. T. Bayliss also took third into the last round, ending Ducati's season on a high-note. Tamiya's beautifully finished display model is a geniune scale representation of the powerful bike, and includes such features as synthetic rubber tires, removable cowlings, and die-cast steel tires for an ultra-realistic display model.
