The RG500 Gamma remains an icon of 1980s road racing. This Hasegawa 1/12 plastic kit recreates the bike's racing silhouette and offers an engaging project for modellers who enjoy accurate period builds. The kit's components deliver the base for a realistic finished model with correct proportions.
The Gamma was notable for its lightweight chassis and aggressive two-stroke engine layout. Building the kit helps illustrate those mechanical priorities and why the bike performed strongly in its class.
Hasegawa supplies cleanly moulded parts and a decal sheet to match the original liveries. Careful test-fitting and gentle surface prep will improve the final fit and paint adhesion.
Painted and completed, the model looks excellent on a shelf or in a display case alongside other classic racers. Adding a small base or descriptive plaque enhances presentation for shows or personal collections.
