Aoshima 05870 - 1/12 Honda Gorilla Z50JZ-3 Takegawa Custom 1978 Model Kit Details

This Aoshima 1/12 Honda Gorilla Z50JZ-3 Takegawa Custom 1978 model kit recreates the compact charm of the original mini-bike. The sculpt and part breakdown highlight the 1978 custom look, making it a worthy subject for hobbyists focused on classic two-wheel machines.

High-quality moulding reproduces the Gorilla's unique frame and visible engine surfaces. The kit presents the Takegawa style through external components, giving a convincing visual representation without a buildable engine mechanism.

Construction and Finishing Tips

Suitable for hobbyists who enjoy careful assembly, the kit requires glue and paint to reach its full potential. Decals and clear assembly instructions are included to help achieve an authentic finish and tidy presentation.

Collector Friendly Size

The small scale makes the completed model easy to display alongside other vintage bikes. Its compact footprint works well in dedicated display cases or as part of a themed shelf arrangement.
