Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly
  • Paint: Not included
Assembly is moderate: basic modelling experience helps but a careful beginner can complete it with patience. Small parts and decal placement require steady hands and simple tools.
Use hobby-grade plastic cement for assembly and enamel or acrylic paints formulated for polystyrene for a durable finish. A primer and fine brushes or an airbrush will improve results.
Yes. The 1/12 scale is common for motorcycle displays, so it integrates well with other 1/12 figures and scenery to create street or garage dioramas.
