Intro to the Aoshima XJR 400 OVER model

The Aoshima XJR 400 OVER is reproduced here in 1:12 scale, offering a compact but faithful representation of the original street bike. Builders will find the silhouette and major components reflect the era and design intent.

Component detail and fit

Moulded parts provide clear outlines for the frame, engine and exhaust elements, though careful trimming and test-fitting are needed for the best joins. Small details like brake and handlebar fittings reward patience during assembly.

How it displays in a collection

Once assembled and painted, the model serves as an accurate period piece for display shelves or model shows. Its scale matches common 1:12 motorcycle ranges, making pairing with other kits straightforward.

Is this kit good for display in a diorama?

Yes, the scale and proportions are suitable for small dioramas showing road or garage scenes, provided you paint and weather the parts to match the scene.

Can I modify the kit with aftermarket parts?

Many modellers swap or scratch build details like mirrors and exhausts. Plan modifications before final gluing and check fit against the original parts to maintain scale accuracy.

What paints work best for a smooth finish?

Model acrylics and enamel paints both work well; use a primer first and apply thin coats. An airbrush gives the most even finish but careful brush work can produce excellent results too.
