Product Description

Build a huge 1/9 scale model of a legendary motorcycle that has left its mark on the history of motorcycle racing.

[About the actual vehicle]
The G50 is a racing bike developed by the British motorcycle manufacturer Matchless.
Developed in 1958, based on the 350cc AJS7R.
Approximately 180 units were produced between 1958 and 1963, and they were successful in motorcycle racing.
The engine is a SOHC air-cooled single-cylinder with a displacement of 496.6cc.
It produced 51 horsepower at 7200 rpm.
Compared to the Norton Manx, a rival machine that was active in races such as the Isle of Man TT during the same era, it had less engine power, but it competed with superior handling, including cornering performance.
He achieved victory at the 1962 Finnish Grand Prix and also performed well in several other races, including second-place finishes.
It is recorded as one of the most legendary cars in history.

[About the model]
This is a 1/9 scale plastic model assembly kit that recreates the British motorcycle, the Matchless G50.
- With a finished length of 220mm, the engine, frame, and other details realistically reproduce the styling unique to 1950s racers.
The single-cylinder, upright engine is meticulously modeled, including the cylinder block with cooling fins, the carburetor, and the megaphone-type exhaust pipe.
The frame on which it is mounted also faithfully reproduces its shape.
In addition, metal coil springs are used for the front and rear suspension, allowing them to remain functional even after completion.
Furthermore, the simple single seat, large tank, small windscreen, and delicate front and rear spoke wheels combine to create a classic Matchless form that shouldn't be overlooked.
This is a kit I'd like to build and compare with its rival, the Norton Manx 500cc, which is also in the 1/9 scale lineup.
