Historic Kawasaki KR500 Recreated in 1/12 Scale

The Tamiya 21062 commemorates the Kawasaki KR500 from the 1982 Grand Prix season, reflecting the bike's aluminium monocoque construction and its 498cc water-cooled engine legacy. This model appeals to collectors of classic racing machinery.

Accurate Construction and Surface Detail

Tamiya uses a die-cast engine to impart realistic mass alongside AS and ABS resin components for crisp surface detail. The lime green finish and precise pad-printed markings faithfully represent the original race bike.

Fine Mechanical Detail for Display

Features include an accurately modelled front suspension, disc rotors and brake calipers, while vinyl tubing stands in for brake and throttle lines. The buffed aluminium fuel tank and gold-painted silencer chambers complete the KR500s authentic race look.

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: Die-cast combined with AS and ABS resin
  • Finish: Lime green paint scheme with pad-printed markings
  • Features: Detailed suspension components, vinyl tubing for cables, aluminium fuel tank

What makes the engine look authentic?

The die-cast engine gives a realistic weight and appearance, with moulded details that echo the original powerplant form.

Are the markings factory applied?

Yes, pad-printed markings are used to replicate the KR500s race graphics and the lime green finish is applied to match the authentic livery.

How can I maintain the model over time?

Store the model away from sunlight and humidity, dust regularly with a soft brush and avoid solvents that can damage paint or pad prints.
