Heritage 1/12 Yamaha RZV500R Model

Debuted at the 1983 Tokyo Motor Show, the Yamaha RZV500R is realised by Tamiya in a meticulous 1/12 scale kit. The model portrays the motorcycle's large fairing, fuel tank silhouette and single-seat cowl, and recreates the air-cooled 2-stroke V4 engine with carburetor and radiator detailing to emphasise its mechanical layout.

The kit enhances authenticity with a metal coil spring for the rear link-type monocoque suspension and vinyl tubing to simulate ignition cables and radiator hoses. These features deliver a detailed build that appeals to modellers focused on period-correct reproductions.

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Steerable front wheel forks
  • Realistic rubber-like tires
  • Highly detailed 2-stroke V4 engine
  • Brake and ignition lines included
  • Waterslide decals

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time varies with experience; casual builders might take several weekends, while experienced modellers can complete it more quickly depending on painting and detailing choices.

Are the tyres pre-painted or need finishing?

Tyres are supplied as rubber-like parts and can be left as-is or given subtle paint work to match the finished model look; many builders apply a light wash for added depth.

Is this kit compatible with other 1/12 accessories?

The 1/12 scale makes it straightforward to pair with other 1/12 accessories and display bases; however check fit and scale details when combining aftermarket parts.
