Lee Chambers Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hi guys, here is the final reveal for the Katana. I decided to bling it up a bit and add a few blue eye candy items, not something I would do on my own bikes but this bike begs to be dressed up. Now that I have built the 1/12 scale kit, I fancy building the big 1/6 scale with the dark red candy and silver paint scheme. I hope you like the bike pictures and I look forward to any comments you have on this build. Finally, you can see my work in progress of this build in the link below. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 That is so achingly beautiful it puts me off building the one in my stash as it would never look that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Williams Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Really nice. :-). The 1/6th. scale kit is great considering it dates from 1982. Edited September 30, 2017 by Simon Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatboydim Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Absolutely superb finish. I can see the clouds reflecting in the paint on the fuel tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Very nice, paint finish is superb Brother in law has one of those in 12" to the foot scale I nearly bought one then plumped for the GPZ900r instead, I've got the 1/12 scale Kat and Ninja in the stash to build one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Very nice, always liked the look of the CBX, they were a huge bike I've got an '84 A1 900r that I have been getting round to tidying up and getting sprayed for the last few years, but never seem to make a start as I open the garage, see the ZRX1200r at the front and take that out instead I must admit that riding the brother in laws Kat is fairly uncomfortable as it's a real reach to the handlebars over the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
