Takekawa style Aoshima 1/12 Honda Z50J Gorilla '78

The Aoshima 1/12 Honda Z50J Gorilla '78 Custom Takekawa Specification Ver.1 Model Kit reproduces the compact, purposeful design of the 1978 mini bike. Its small scale and clear lines make it a satisfying project for collectors and those who like to tweak details.

Details that capture the original

Model parts mirror distinctive 1978 features like the rounded fuel tank, bench seat and signature exhaust. Moulded components provide a solid base for realistic finish work and small trims during assembly.

Built to adapt and personalise

The Takekawa specification adds optional components to vary the stance and styling. Builders can explore paint schemes, minor kitbashes and aftermarket touches to create a custom interpretation of the Gorilla.
