Hasegawa 21731 - 1/12 Kawasaki 500-SS/MACH III (H1 1970 Late Version) Model Summary

This Hasegawa 1/12 Kawasaki 500-SS/MACH III (H1 1970 Late Version) kit represents a standout machine from the two-stroke era. The full-size bike was known for its distinctive sound and performance, and the scale kit reflects those classic proportions for display or diorama work.

Accuracy and Part Quality

The moulded parts reproduce the three-cylinder engine form and flowing bodywork with attention to proportion. Included decals and chrome-effect parts enhance the visual fidelity, allowing the completed model to match period references closely.

Tips for Construction

Expect moderate build complexity; careful trimming and test-fitting are recommended for complex subassemblies. Paint and glue are omitted so builders can pick brands and shades that match either original factory colours or personal restorations.

Yes, careful masking and thin coats will help achieve the flat panels and chrome accents typical of the period. Decals also play a big role in accuracy.
Hasegawa sometimes provides spare parts through retailers; small damaged pieces can also be repaired or remade with modelling putty and precision sanding.
A hobby knife, fine files, tweezers, side cutters and a set of small brushes will make trimming, test-fitting and painting much more straightforward.
