1:12 Suzuki GSX1100 Katana, plastic model kit

This 1:12 plastic assembly model kit captures the Suzuki GSX1100S Katana Cust.Tuned with the sharp fairing lines, stepped seat profile and tuned street-bike stance that made the original machine stand out at its 1980 Cologne Motor Show debut. The finished motorcycle presents a focused display piece with exposed mechanical areas and a customized finish that gives the Katana its unmistakable period identity. The build is shaped around a detailed motorcycle layout in which the air-cooled 4-cylinder DOHC engine remains a visual centerpiece rather than disappearing behind bodywork. Cooling fins are reproduced with crisp definition, and the lower section gains extra depth through separate engine parts that frame the front mounted oil cooler and the exhaust layout. The tuned specification also extends to the braking hardware, where the front end uses a large diameter rotor with 4-pod calipers while the rear carries small diameter floating calipers. Assembly is required, and the stated assembly time is 600 minutes. On a shelf, desk or display cabinet, the 1:12 scale gives the motorcycle enough presence for the engine, brakes and body contours to read clearly from side and three-quarter views. The subject suits model builders who enjoy classic motorcycle forms, visible mechanical detail and a machine whose customized specification is part of the finished look.
