Bill Bunting Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) I normally build aircraft in all scales but I was recently asked by someone to build this. I loved the experience and I think I just might have to build one for myself. I think it was about 120 hrs in the building. Tamiya kit with the "Detail Up" accessory chain set (360+ pieces on its own). The gaps between the cowl / headlight are a result of the parts not being cemented in place. They come together OK but will "pop" open a little very easily. I will need to make a small adjustment to them. I guess I should have cleaned the fingerprints off the tank before taking the pics....

JeroenS Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Nice, it looks super clean! (except for the fingerprint 😉) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I know it's s cliché, but it looks like the real thing! Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I rather like this, a great looking machine which I always fancied as a runaway from home transport, maybe it was that name that conjured up the daydreams. Your build has not spoiled them at all. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Always good to see a bike build, very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian T Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 That’s really nice, and as a “fingerprint expert” myself, I can easily “not see” that .... good work Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonky Donkey Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Lovely build, Bill. Looks superb. Always thought this was a slightly odd subject for Tamiya to do in 1/6. I'd have thought they'd have gone for something a little more, well, exotic or classic. But what do I know?!? Anyway, you've more than done it justice (in the best colours too!).
