Hasegawa Yamaha YZR500 (0W98) 1989 Iberna Team 1/12 Kit

This Hasegawa 1/12 scale plastic kit reproduces the Yamaha YZR500 (0W98) raced by the Iberna Team during the 1989 Road Racing World Championship. The kit represents the No.15 machine ridden by Alessandro Baresi in the 500cc class, where he finished 13th overall.

The subject is a privateer racing machine supplied with factory racing parts, giving the kit a specific 1989 competition identity rather than representing a general YZR500. Hasegawa provides 165 parts, with the completed model measuring 167mm in length and 52mm in width. The body parts are moulded in white.

1989 Iberna Team Subject

The Yamaha YZR500 is presented here in its privateer Iberna Team specification, making the racing identity an important part of the model. The combination of the No.15 markings, 1989 season setting and 500cc World Championship subject gives the finished kit a clearly defined competition context.
