Classic 500cc Grand Prix Replica

The Tamiya 14003 Suzuki RGB500 model reproduces the race bike that competed on the world stage in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Tamiya's kitwork highlights the silhouette and mechanical look of the original machine.

Under the Fairing: Powerplant and Forks

Built to reflect the 495cc, 4-cylinder, 2-stroke Square 4 engine layout, the RGB500 was capable of more than 110 horsepower in tuned form. The kit models the water-cooled engine block and Suzuki's Anti Nose Dive forks so builders can show off those engineering cues.

Collector Appeal and Build Satisfaction

With accurate scale and carefully moulded parts, this kit is suitable for collectors and builders who enjoy detailed assembly work. The finished Tamiya RGB500 makes for a memorable shelf display that nods to classic racing history.

What adhesives and techniques work best when assembling the Tamiya 14003 kit?

Use liquid cement for strong seams on larger parts and cyanoacrylate (super glue) for resin or metal details if fitted. Work in subassemblies, remove flash, and test-fit parts before gluing to keep panel joins neat.

How should I protect decals and paint on the finished RGB500 model?

Apply a clear gloss coat before decal placement to minimise silvering, then seal with a satin or matt varnish depending on the period look you want. Allow proper drying time between coats for the best finish.
