Tamiya 1/12 Honda NSR500 1984 Model Kit

The Tamiya 1/12 Honda NSR500 1984 from our 1/12 scale motorcycle model kits range accurately recreates the real-life racing motorcycle from the 1984 season. This plastic model kit requires paint and glue to complete.

During the 1983 World Grand Prix season, Honda took the championship with the NS500 but it was clear that the power from the 2-stroke V3 engine would be insufficient for the next season. This led Honda to create the NSR500, which was powered by a more powerful V4 engine. It also featured a unique aluminum frame to house the engine and a radical layout in which the expansion chambers and the fuel tank were positioned above and below the engine respectively. The 1984 season was challenging but the following season saw the NSR500 demonstrate its excellent performance to win the championship. The Tamiya 1/12 model kit faithfully brings all the details of this famous GP bike to hobbyists around the world.
