Detailed Scale Replica

This Tamiya kit reproduces the Yamaha RZV500R motorcycle at 1/12 scale with authentic detail. It is intended for adult collectors and hobby enthusiasts who enjoy building accurate display models from plastic parts.

Assembly Requirements

Paint and cement are required to complete the kit but are not included in the box. Parts are moulded in light grey and the decal sheet provides colourful artwork, so the builder must supply finishing materials and tools.

Mechanical Features

The front fork is steerable and the rear Monocross suspension uses a real metal spring for realistic movement. Chrome-plated small parts, rubber-like 16-inch front and 18-inch rear tires, and a detailed 500cc V4 engine with carburettors enhance the finished model.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1/12 scale kit or a different size?

This kit is offered only in 1/12 scale, giving a compact finished model that still shows the V4 engine, Monocross suspension and steerable fork in detail.

How does the 500cc V4 engine look once the model is built?

The kit moulds the 500cc two-stroke water-cooled V4 with SU carburettors, air cleaner and chambers, so the completed model displays a realistic engine bay.

What does the 1/12 scale mean for the tyre sizes on this kit?

The 1/12 scale translates to solid depictions of 16-inch front and 18-inch rear tyres, matching the real motorcycle's proportions.
