MotoGP 1/12 SUZUKI GSX-RR 2022

Post by Dede »

Okay, After the nice showing of the Huge 1/4 YZRM1, Lets keep the wheels moving on this new MotoGP section :D


Just finished this one - Here is Tamiya's Suzuki GSX-RR 2020 1/12 MotoGP kit, I didn't build OOB as the 2020 MotoGP Suzuki, I went for the 2022 version (using Tabu aftermarket decals)
Very Sad to have SUZUKI withdraw from MotoGP, I hope they will return again very soon.

Slight modifications needed from 2020 to 2022:
The air cooling vents either side of the seat hump were altered in shape and mesh added (Not included in the Tamiya kit :roll: )
I removed the camera under the seat unit left side.
modified the kit so that no toy like mini phillips screws are showing anywhere (Don't like these, shouldn't be there and I will do my best to find another way to assemble).

Paints used: Zero Silver / Tamiya TS-19 metallic blue, I've discovered Tamiya's new LP-48 Sparkling silver, my new favourite paint (it's great to use and gives a perfect finish for the likes of frame/swing arm etc, it's just right IMO and goes on the bare plasitc just fine).

Aftermarket C/F decals added to the usual places where required.

I went for the Alex Rins bike, I like his style but unfortunately he crashes waaaayyyy to much.


Finished Build:

Love the Zuzuki. Thanks for posting the info on the colors too! Am researching and preparing for this build. Top Studio just released a detail set that I plan on getting.
FYI I have seen others use magnets instead of the screws on the fearing. Something I want to try. But for now I have been just putting a flat PE bolt over the screw

Great build! all the bikes look great. I've been building quite a few bikes lately I find them quite challenging.

Hi Dede,

These are very nicely done bikes. I very much like the fact that you hide/replace all the kit provided screws.

Your detailed painting of the chain looks really good. Great job!

Like those Suzi's a lot.
Kevin was the hero when I was young and driving a Suzuki RG80 Gamma. In my mind I was very close to Kevin🤪🤪

Excellent result. Will start my first bike after 15 years very soon and hope they will look half as good as yours at the end.
Great job!
