I liked Tamiya bikes a lot and I am actually working on a Suzuki XR89 (Kenny Roberts) and Honda RC211V 2003 (Rossi or Hayden, still havent decided). The good things about bikes is the fact that almost all details you do are visibile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good things about bikes is the fact that almost all details you do are visibile Yes, I agree about the quality of the Tamiya bike kits, I’ve done two Ducati’s so far but have strayed a bit into other fields like an old Bandai traction engine, but I will return!! My choice for the Honda would be Rossi, but Hayden deserves some homage as well. I can’t remember who or what bike, but a while back somebody posted pictures of a Tamiya bike with one half of the fairings in place and the other half off the bike to make more of the ”gubbins” visible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonky Donkey Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 That may have been me, Ian (link above? ) though I've seen plenty others do it too. Great build, @fet_thunderdome. Looks great next to the F1 tractor... (😂). Not come across Blue Stuff decals before. Will have to look them up. W-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F1 tractor shares the same driver name and the same scale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was never convinced of the merits of the Senna tribute versions, except for the 916s they did around the time of his death. Still, they look pretty and for Ducatis, that's important ☺ W-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
