Hasegawa 21762 - 1/12 Tech21 Yamaha YZR500 (OW98) 1988: Classic GP model

The Tech21 Yamaha YZR500 (OW98) is a standout from the 1988 season, and Hasegawa's 1/12 kit reproduces its iconic lines in miniature. This kit gives hobbyists a compact, detailed model that reflects the period engineering and race appearance.

Scale fidelity and parts

Components are moulded to reflect the bike's contours and race hardware. The fairing shapes, seat unit and distinguishing Tech21 paint zones are modelled with an emphasis on visual accuracy for display builds.

Construction notes

Building this kit rewards patience and precision. Expect to use fine tools for trimming and gluing, plus masking for the multi-colour finish. The kit suits modellers who enjoy a careful, multi-step assembly process.

Display potential

When complete, the compact YZR500 replica sits well on a shelf or inside a display case. It pairs neatly with other 1/12 road racing kits and delivers a striking small-scale representation of late 1980s GP machinery.
