Hasegawa 1/12 Suzuki RG500 Gamma Early Version 1985 kit

The Suzuki RG500 Gamma was a defining race machine of the mid 1980s. Hasegawa's 1/12 scale kit captures the motorcycle's sharp fairing lines and racing ergonomics, offering a compact but detail-rich project for modelmakers and collectors aiming for an accurate period replica.

Significance on the racetrack

As a 500cc competitor, the Gamma combined a potent two-stroke package with a chassis tuned for speed. This model gives builders a way to study the bike's distinctive profile and engineering choices in miniature.

Scale accuracy and assembly notes

The kit features precise moulding and decals that reflect the original graphics. Builders should dry-fit parts before gluing and prepare surfaces for paint to ensure crisp joins and an authentic finish.

Collector appeal and presentation

Completed models hold strong display value among fans of classic road racing. The 1/12 scale allows for visible detail while keeping the finished size practical for dioramas or shelf displays.

Intermediate modellers will find this kit rewarding. It contains small components and detailed decal work that are easier with some prior experience.
Photographs from the period and museum collections are useful for matching liveries. Hobby paint manufacturers list historical shades that suit 1980s race bikes.
Decals can be tricky on deep curves. Use a setting fluid and allow time to settle before trimming edges or varnishing to avoid silvering.
Yes. Paint is not supplied and is necessary for an authentic finish. Primer and thin coats help preserve engraved detail.
