Delayar Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Hi folks, I finally finished the build of the Honda NR, made from the Tamiya kit. It is OOB, except the Bare Metal Foil I used for the fork, the mirrors and the exhaust. And one should heed the instructions. The instructions called for paint sequence white primer, red, flourescent red. I ommited the white primer on the already red plastic parts, and they turned out a little darker than the ones with white primer. I noticed that only after the decals and the final clear coat was on. The difference is discernible on the side cowling parts. Cheers, Markus 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slippers Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Nice job. 👍 Bold of Honda to make an oval piston production bike (very limited numbers) after the ambitious race experiment didn't go to plan in the early 80s. There's a cutaway engine in the Honda Collection Hall at Motegi. Eight valves per cylinder! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamblor916 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Very nice. I have this to build next as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Eight valves per cylinder, oval pistons and rwo conrods per piston - like the Tyrell P34, someone had to try it. Your model is flawless, I wish my builds turned out even half as good (but they don't!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
