1/12 SCALE YAMAHA RZV500R

Length: 172 mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

Attracting a lot of attention with its debut at the 1983 Tokyo Motor Show was Yamaha's GP racer the RZV500R, which is accurately rendered by this plastic assembly kit model. ★Famous features of the RZV500R such as its large-size fairing, fuel tank, and single seat cowling are all realistically reproduced. ★The air-cooled 2-stroke V4 500cc engine along with its carburetors and radiator are finished in precise detail which captures the mechanical mood of the machine. ★A metal coil spring for the rear link-type monocoque suspension enhances presence. ★In addition, parts such as ignition cords and radiator hoses are depicted with vinyl tubing to provide the model with greater realism.
