The Tamiya 21062 faithfully recreates the Kawasaki KR500 from the 1982 Grand Prix era with historically accurate styling. Renowned for its aluminium monocoque chassis and a 498cc water-cooled engine, the KR500 remains significant to racing history and model collectors.
Tamiya applies precise engineering to this 1/12 scale model, using a die-cast engine to add heft and AS/ABS resin components for crisp detail. The lime green paint and pad-printed decals mirror the original racing machine.
Model highlights include a realistic front suspension layout, functioning-looking disc rotors and brake calipers, plus vinyl tubing for brake and throttle lines. The buffed aluminium fuel tank and gold-painted silencer chambers complete the KR500s iconic look.
