1:12 Suzuki GSX - R 750

An accessory for a model of the Suzuki GSX-R 750

The item is an accessory for building a model of the Suzuki GSX-R 750 motorcycle in 1:12 scale, not the model itself. It belongs among accessories of the kind that cover chains, forks and brake discs, that is the parts with which the most simplified sections of motorcycle kits are replaced. Check the extent and the form of the set in the manufacturer's instructions.

The real subject

The Suzuki GSX-R 750 is among the motorcycles that in the mid-1980s shifted the idea of what a production sports machine is. It was a road version of racing hardware with a light frame and an inline-four of about 750 cubic centimeters, which is what the number in the designation gives. The machine was built in many generations and the individual model years differ in frame, wheels and brakes. That is exactly why with accessories it pays to compare a part with the kit before you cut anything off the model.

What to watch out for during the build

• lay the part on dry first and compare it with the part from the kit
• cut the original part off only once it is clear how the replacement will seat
• widen the seatings and pins carefully if needed, as the material of an accessory tends to be harder than polystyrene
• choose a suitable glue according to the material of the part and follow the manufacturer's instructions
• paint small parts before assembly, as a brush will not reach them once they are glued
