 Hi everyone. Thought i'd post some pics of my new build. Tamiya Kawasaki H2R 1/12. Sorry about large (in your face) pictures. Couldn't get them smaller

Hiya Tank152, thank you. Yeah I love the colour. It's a really thin paint, so is taking a while to build the colour up to a decent standard. Loving MRP, thanks for the recommendation.

I think it's about time I saw some of your work posted on this site, not seen some in a long time

Well I've got 4 kits on the go in various stages of completeness, hopefully I'll actually get round to finishing one and even get round to posting some pics up again.

Looks very good.  Are you going to replace the horrible cross head screws Tamiya insist on providing, or replace them with something more scale-like.

 

Apologies if you don't mind the screws - but they are my pet hate.....

Hi there, 

hadnt really thought that far ahead really Mark, but I remember the Ducati Panigale S had this in the kit and the were quite fiddly ? I would know where to look to be honest though, if I were thinking of changing them?

I changed them on my Honda RC166, which is somewhere in the ready for inspection section.  Mainly, it was a case of putting bits of brass rod, superglued to hold the part, and then adding a slice of hex plastic to represent a bolt head.  Not perfect, but (IMHO) it looked better.  Still, each to their own.  It's your model after all.  It's looking fantastic already.  I love the frame colour, and am sorely tempted to have a bash at this one.

Great to see a bit more progress, you'll soon get back into the swing of things.

Life has a horrible habit of getting in the road, it's just part of the modelling experience! 😤
