Vintage GT380 B Model - Project Outline

This Hasegawa 1/12 kit recreates the 1972 Suzuki GT380 B with a focus on authentic proportions and visible mechanical detail. It is designed for model enthusiasts who enjoy assembling classic motorcycle subjects with attention to scale accuracy.

Authenticity and Engine Features

The Suzuki GT380 stood out for its air-cooled, two-stroke three-cylinder engine and balanced chassis. The kit reflects those features through precise mouldings that match the bike's structural lines and functional elements.

Construction and Skill Expectations

Components are finely moulded and require deliberate assembly and finishing to achieve the best presentation. The kit rewards careful workmanship, producing a compact model that highlights signature details such as the exhaust system and tank contours.

Display Potential

When finished, the model offers a convincing miniature of a key early 1970s machine and fits well in exhibits of classic motorcycles or personal collections focusing on period accuracy.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Decals: Included
Engine and exhaust components show good definition for the scale, but close painting and possible aftermarket bits can further enhance their appearance.
Yes, modellers often fit small aftermarket details or scratchbuilt items to increase fidelity, though this requires fine modelling skills.
The scale and detail level make it a good candidate for workshop or street dioramas when paired with appropriate figures and scenery.
Use a clear coat to seal paint and decals, and handle the model by its base or frame to avoid marking the finish during display or transport.
