drgarbanzo Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Hi There, This is my first ready for inspection thread which seems fitting for my second ever motorbike Kit. I learnt a huge amount in the building of this kit particularly with the detail up kit cause I hadn't made a photoetched chain before but it far improves the look of the kit imo. The kit is Tamiya's Repsol Honda RC213V with Zero Paints colour matched paint set, Hobby Design detail up set and Tamiya's matching fork kit. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Thanks for looking! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 That's a cracking bike. Those colours are excellent and top decalling. Very nice work.👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice work.👏 Thank you muchly. The kit decals where much like standard tamiya decals that really don't like going around curves at all. I still never learn though cause I end up buying more non cartograph decalled kits along the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Having done their Honda NSR I know exactly what you mean about their decals. 😖 Also having the Repsol in the stash I think I will invest in the Zero paint set like yourself.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slippers Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Nice job. 👍 Having it balanced on that ledge gives me palpations, and it's not even mine! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ever take photos on still days and the worst I’ve ever lost off that deck was a front suspension member for a 934 Porsche which because it was green was easy enough to find 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
