The Tech21 Yamaha YZR500 (OW98) from 1988 is captured in Hasegawa's 1/12 scale kit, providing a faithful miniature of that period race bike. This model is built for those who enjoy detailed assembly and historical race replicas.
Fine moulded features and panel shapes allow for a convincing finish once painted and decaled. The kit reproduces the bike's distinctive fairing and racing lines, letting builders highlight period details in close-up displays.
This kit requires deliberate assembly work and is best approached with standard modelling tools. Expect to use glue, putty and paint to achieve a polished result that reflects the original machine.
When complete, the YZR500 makes a compact but eye-catching display piece. Its historical value and authentic appearance make it a strong addition to any race bike collection.
