NigeG Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Thats 2nd attempt at posting pics. Ive finally managed to figure out how to put photos on thanks to much needed help, thank you for all. Started this over 10 years ago, lock down has got my fire going again. pleased with the overall result, but have now acquired a selection of alclad2 laquers for future use. only really used on the forks and exhausts for this model, the engine is just painted in tamiya X paints. the lower black of the fairing is painted rather than using the supplied decals. looking forward to getting my 30 odd other bikes done....... last photo is my newly made display case, room for a few more in there before a bigger case needs to be made. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alteregoni Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Really nice model! Especially that yellow color, what is always hard to succeed! 👌👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigeG Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 im pleased with the outcome, i few lessons learned along the way. the tank has what i think are known as mould lines which i should have removed. the yellow and white was painted about 10 years ago, when i came back to it i decided to repaint the seat and I used XF8 over grey primer. This gave a much better coat but I only noticed the slight shade difference after clear coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klubman01 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Gotta love an old-skool MotoGP machine! Nice work, well executed. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron NL-S Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Ohh a trip down nostalgia-alley! I built many a Tamiya motorcycle in my early days, but none as tidy as yours. Well done, especially on the yellow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigeG Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I’m tempted to put a post on showing the marlboro Yamaha, that was built 35 years ago, sticky glue and a brush. Its been in a box for years, it looks fine up in the case, more of a 6 footer 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigglesof266 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Positively inspirational work. I especially like that you resurrected the long languishing build, as we've all done at some time or at least I certainly have, to complete it...eventually. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottopv Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Glad you sorted out the photo problem I like the build looks great going to build one of these if I can find one and yes put the Marlboro yam up I’m a fan of 6 footer builds that’s all I can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
