Classic 1989 Yamaha YZR500 (OWA8) Tech 21 scale replica

This Hasegawa 1/12 kit brings the 1989 Yamaha YZR500 to your bench as a tidy scale replica. Molded parts capture the bike's racing lines and the distinctive Tech 21 livery, giving hobbyists a satisfying build with authentic visual impact.

Context and racing background

In 1989 the YZR500 was a competitive Grand Prix machine, notable for its powerful performance and recognizable blue and white Tech 21 paint. The kit mirrors those race-era details so builders can recreate the iconic look at a smaller scale.

Kit construction and finish potential

Hasegawa supplies precise components and printed decal sheets to match the original markings. The parts suit glued assembly and allow for neat seam work and paint finishing, ideal for display models or diorama inclusion.

Specifications

The kit has several small subassemblies and fine detail parts. Expect moderate complexity and plan for steady work sessions rather than a single quick build.
The kit delivers good detail out of the box. Enthusiasts may add photoetched parts or wiring to increase realism, but these are optional enhancements.
Some decal sections might benefit from careful trimming to sit correctly on curved surfaces. Test-fit before applying and use a softening solution if needed.
Yes, the 1/12 scale and compact footprint make it easy to display alongside other 1/12 motorcycles for a period-correct shelf layout.
