Manx Norton 500cc


Devo

Recommended Posts

G'day All,
This is my latest completion, Italeri's 1/9 Manx Norton. Not a bad kit TLAR to me when finished and is as close as I'll ever get to owning a real Manx Norton.:lol:
 Brush painted with Humbrol and Tamiya enamels. No apologies for the pic's, they are spot on to my usual crappy standard!:yes:
Cheers,
Devo

Very nice, dont put yourself down, its a lovelly model, reminds me of my dad who used to go the Isle of Man every year, come rain or shine, to watch the TT.  To be honest, if I didnt know better, I would say its real and you took the pics in your back yard.  I would be impressed if I had made that......

 

Had to take a second look, thought you had forgotten to put the saddle on!!!!!  Makes your eyes water when you realise what you had riding between your legs..........

Nice build of an iconic bike, I was lucky enough to be able ride one owned by a friend back in the 80's on the way to the I of M. 

A ride on a 1:1 Manx......... now that would have been the go!:o

 

I'm off to start on the 1/9 MV Agusta 500/4.

Cheers.

EXQUISITE  build.

 

STUNNING ....   :wub:

 

KUDOS :yikes::clap2::worthy:

 

 

 

(Recently went to India for a 6 month stay and met up with a nephew who has a NORTON Motorcycle... he's had it for almost 30 + years and still is awesome condition. With stainless steel and chrome looks fabulous. You need to get over to India as THEY STILL MAKE NORTON motorcycles. INDIANS love them   :whistle: )

Yep....INDIANS love NORTON'S...

 

next time you go you go to  INDIA  suss them out... they go for approx 300,000 Rupees (appox £4000 give or take a penny.... but they can be higher too depending what you rquire)...

Do you have any details of this ?  I can find no evidence of Indian Norton production on Google & have never heard of it .  I'm familiar with the Indian-built Royal Enfields , but not Nortons .
