1/12 Suzuki RG500 Gamma by Hasegawa - Early 1985 release

The RG500 Gamma was a standout on 1980s circuits, and this 1/12 scale plastic model captures the bike's compact race form. Hasegawa's kit provides the parts and decals needed to recreate the bike faithfully, appealing to hobbyists who enjoy period-correct builds and display modelling.

Why the Gamma mattered

The Gamma's two-stroke power and light chassis made it a strong 500cc contender. Building this kit is a way to explore the bike's role in that era, and to study the styling choices that defined its racing image.

Build quality and detail level

Components are crisply moulded and the decal sheet reproduces logos and markings accurately. Careful assembly and finishing will reward builders with a convincing scale replica of the original machine.

Presentation and collection tips

Once assembled and painted, the model makes a fine addition to a classic road bike lineup. Consider mounting on a small plinth or pairing with period rider figures to enhance the display.

Novices can attempt it but should expect fine parts and detailed painting. Starting with simpler kits first will help develop the skills needed here.
The decals are designed to match the bike's period graphics closely. Use decal setting solution for best adhesion on curved surfaces.
Yes. The 1/12 scale makes it compatible with other road racer kits in the same scale, giving a coherent collection display.
A light clear coat will protect decals and even out the finish. Choose satin or gloss depending on the original bike's appearance.
