Profiling the Hasegawa 1/12 Yamaha YZR500 (0WA8) 1989 GP500 Champion

The Hasegawa 1/12 replica of the Yamaha YZR500 (0WA8) recreates the bike that secured the 1989 GP500 championship. This kit offers modellers a chance to assemble a true-to-form Grand Prix motorcycle from that era.

Authenticity and period detail

The YZR500 was a benchmark GP500 machine in the late 80s and this kit reflects its engineering and race-focused styling. It is aimed at those who value historical accuracy and neat finishing work.

Modelling expectations and result quality

Carefully executed moulds and included decals support a high-quality finished model. The kit rewards patient builders who take time with paint, fitment and final detailing to achieve a display-ready result.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Recommended for enhanced realism
This kit is best for intermediate to advanced modellers due to small parts and the need for precision during assembly and painting.
Basic modelling tools are sufficient: sprue cutters, fine files, tweezers, brushes and a fine adhesive. A magnifier and hobby knife help with tiny parts.
Finish the model with a clear coat to seal decals and protect paint. Choose gloss or satin depending on the original bike's appearance and your display preference.
