My first post here so i hope it is the right place !!

My question is did tamiya ( or anyone else) make a 1/12 Yamaha YZR500 from about the Rainey malboro era....1989-91.
I would like to build a Marlboro Yam to sit along side my 1/12 Senna Marlboro Mclaren MP4/6..

Any thoughts?

Here's Tamiya's list of bike kits (http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/list/12bike_1.htm). There are certainly YZR500s on the list, but I couldn't tell you what years they're from.

The Marlboro markings would be a bit of a trick. Marlboro has come down even on aftermarket decal companies recently, making their markings even more difficult to come by.

Thanks for the list !
Looks like i am stuffed there then, nothing between 1983 and 1999.
Decals are not a problem, you can still find them on e-bay or i can make my own.

Try here http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2_7_24&products_id=4578 and here http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2_7_24&products_id=4793 these should get you started. It looks like one of them is out of stock but might be able to be ordered.

Have Fun,
