Overview of the Yamaha YZR500 (OWA8) Tech 21 in 1/12 scale

The Hasegawa 1/12 kit recreates the 1989 Yamaha YZR500 with an emphasis on scale accuracy and clean surface detail. The Tech 21 livery is represented via decal sheets, giving a faithful reproduction of this classic Grand Prix racer.

1989 racing pedigree

The YZR500 earned recognition in Grand Prix competition for its engine performance and the bold Tech 21 colour scheme. This model captures those historic styling cues so builders can study and display the machine in miniature.

Assembly notes and finishing tips

Parts are produced with fine detail and require glue for assembly. Painting and decal application are key to bringing out the kit's character, and careful masking will help achieve crisp Tech 21 markings.

  • Decals: Included for Tech 21 livery

Will glue alone hold the parts securely?

Yes, standard plastic cement is suitable for most joins. For extra strength on stressed areas consider using a cyanoacrylate sparingly or pinning larger subassemblies.

Is masking needed for the Tech 21 paintwork?

To get sharp transitions between blue and white, mask carefully before painting. Alternatively, apply the base colours and use the supplied decals for complex graphics.

Can the finished model be handled often?

Once painted and sealed with a clear coat, the kit can be handled gently. Avoid dropping or frequent handling to preserve decals and delicate parts.
