Retro race bike kit - Hasegawa 21753 - 1/12 Suzuki RG500 Gamma 1985 Early Version Model Kit  [HA-21753]

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.
