Caution Wake Turbulence Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) I actually finished a model and it only took me two months... I present my first motorcycle model, hopefully not the last. I hope you like it. There are no doubt many things that could have been better, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. One of the flame motif decals is missing (thanks to a masking incident) but a replacement sheet is one the way. It's built out-of-the-box and finished in Tamiya Spray, Tamiya Acrylics and Alclad metallics. I used Alclad Aqua Gloss to seal the decals, but to be honest I didn't really get on with it and the finish is not as glossy as it might have been.

Rickpadwick1801 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hi Andrew, Can I just say that you have done an amazing job on this kit and made me wish I had done my first kit in this scheme. I will be adding this to my wish list for future buys. Well done. Rick (A very jealous model bike builder) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Phil Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Really great looking kit. Looks like you could just throw your leg over it & go out for a spin! I've never considered building a bike kit before now. You might have just convinced me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
