Hasegawa 21729 1/12 Kawasaki KH250-B2 1977: A scaled classic

The Kawasaki KH250-B2 of 1977 is remembered for its compact triple-cylinder layout and spirited ride. This Hasegawa 21729 1/12 kit captures those signature elements so modellers can recreate an accurate miniature of the original motorcycle.

Context and period engineering

The KH250-B2 was part of Kawasaki's innovative two-stroke triples that offered a unique mix of light weight and punch. Putting this kit together offers insight into 1970s motorcycle engineering and styling for anyone keen on historic machines.

Build experience and presentation

Parts are crisply moulded to mirror frame details and engine shapes. Builders will find the assembly rewarding, and the completed 1/12 Kawasaki KH250-B2 looks sharp in a cabinet or as part of a themed diorama.

The engine parts show good definition for a 1/12 scale model. You can add wash or paint shading to emphasise fins and bolts for a more realistic look.
Basic modelling tools such as side cutters, fine files, plastic cement and a hobby knife are sufficient. A steady workspace and magnification help with small components.
While assembly without paint is possible, painting greatly improves realism. Even simple panel painting and clear finishing will enhance the overall look.
Due to scale and subject popularity, some modders add metal axles or photo-etched parts, but the kit builds into an accurate model without upgrades.
