Suzuki RGV500 1993 World Champion
Finally looks like this is a confirmed release in July , Thank you BeeMax:
https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/kdswd ... mmve6.html
I've been looking forward to this one...
I hope they follow up with more from this era, Amazing no Rainey Championship winning YZR500 at all (1990, 91,92) yet from any of the Big Japanese Plastic kit Companies, Here's hoping BeeMax can step up. I would also have wished for Schwantz's Pepsi Suzuki from 1989, better looking bike overall than the 1988 version that Fujimi released, not to say I wasn't thankfull of that from Fujimi anyway, I just preferred the 89 version, we all have our wish lists and for decaded I hoped for late 80's early 90's 500's, and eventaully thanks to Fujimi, Hasegawa and now BeeMax thay are arriving.

That’s a big WOW
Specially wishing there’ll be more
Dede, I have the Altaya Ixo. Certainly one of the worst out of that series... but well it was there

In cooperation with Top Studio! Guess this is 1st time TS can hook its product to major player release.

Yes, I picked up the Altaya 91 YZR and you are correct James, not very good at all, terrible effort really.

Re: Suzuki RGV500 1993 World Champion
cool bike & rider, looking forward to this one getting released
Re: Suzuki RGV500 1993 World Champion
Yes mate. Honestly speaking these two and the ‘87 Gardner Honda are the three worst done.
If you look inside they even have a bulky 4 stroke engine mock up
But the good side of story is that the rest of the 50 bike series is QUITE good... you have really nice bikes that Tamiya nor anyone else cared to do.
81 and 82 RG500, 84 Yam, great 250cc Aprilias...
Also some classic oldies ones.
Anyway back to OT, this Kevin tribute is quite welcome.
BTW no one made a ‘89 transkit???

Iconic rider & subject, the late eighties-early nineties 500cc two strokes were some of the most ferocious racing machines ever built.
Traction control back then was in the riders hands & feet.
The ‘93 German GP at the old Hockenheim was a typical slipstreaming knife fight we used to see in those days.

Oh yes. And that Beatty’s win when Doohan ‘s tyre threw a big slice, and that Criville podium...
I still remember Kevin’s ‘91 Hockenheim late breaking... though
