Recreate the 1989 NSR500 in 1/12 scale

The Honda NSR500 of 1989 is remembered for its race pace and technical strength, with top speeds over 190 mph and about 165 hp in race configuration. The Hasegawa 21715 - 1/12 Honda NSR500 Elf Honda 1989 WGP500 Motorcycle Model Kit offers modellers a compact but faithful representation of that WGP machine.

Accurate parts for an authentic finish

This kit pays homage to the Team Elf Honda entry ridden by Dominique Sarron to fifteenth place in the WGP500 standings. Hasegawa has supplied new wheel parts and well-detailed components that reward builders prepared to work carefully on assembly and paint.

Great for display cases and show shelves

Collectors and experienced builders will appreciate the scale fidelity and fine detail. When painted and decaled correctly, this model makes a clean, historically accurate display piece for race bike collections.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
This is a static display kit and not designed for motorisation. Converting to a running model would require extensive modification and custom parts.
A gloss base with fine panel shading and crisp decal application best matches the original race finish. Use thin coats and proper masking to preserve small details.
Yes, the kit is intended for cement assembly. For stronger joins or temporary dry fits, use model cement and small clamps; avoid cyanoacrylate on clear parts to prevent fogging.
Reference period photos and manufacturer paint charts are the best source. Specialist hobby stores can advise on model paint equivalents for the Elf Honda palette.
