Suzuki RGB500 Heritage of 1980s Grand Prix Racing

The Tamiya 14003 Suzuki RGB500 kit faithfully reproduces the iconic race bike that made headlines on Grand Prix circuits in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Its faithful styling and component detail let builders appreciate the bike that riders like Barry Sheene campaigned at the highest level.

Technical Highlights of the RGB500

Powered by a 495cc, 4-cylinder, 2-stroke engine, the RGB500 employed a "Square 4" layout to extract impressive power, topping out at just over 110 horsepower. The model reflects the water-cooled engine layout and the unique Anti Nose Dive front forks so you can study the engineering up close.

Modeling Appeal and Display Potential

At 1/12 scale and rich in factory detail, this kit is aimed at collectors and hobbyists who enjoy a rewarding build and a striking display model. The Tamiya RGB500 is a solid project for those who like accurate period presentation and mechanical fidelity.

How challenging is assembling the Tamiya 14003 for a hobbyist new to motorcycle kits?

This kit is moderately challenging: it demands careful trimming, precise glue work and patience with small engine and fork parts. Prior plastic kit experience helps, but step-by-step assembly and dry-fitting parts will make the process manageable.

What paints and finishing tools are recommended for an authentic RGB500 look?

Use solvent or acrylic hobby paints matched to period Suzuki colours, fine brushes for details, and a flat or clear coat to protect decals. Masking tape, hobby knives and small files will help achieve crisp panel lines and smooth joins.
