Here's what the fine folks at Tamiya have to say about their release of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 Special Color Edition kit: "The flame livery on this exquisite model which can be seen on North American '07 and '08 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 motorcycles perfectly sets the American mood. The aggressive form including the front fairings 6 independent front lights capture the essence of the Ninja. The DOHC, water-cooled inline four engine is also faithfully rendered."

HLJ adds: The cowlings can be removed after assembly to show off all that great engine detail inside. Can be built as either a 2007 or 2008 model. Includes metal transfer emblems. The flame pattern decals are by Cartograf.
