gamblor916 Posted October 20 Posted October 20 Finished in Tamiya Bright Red with some pearl mixed in. I replaced all the carbon decals and cleared the rest to prevent any cracking. Added some 3d printed parts like chain and axle parts. Some progress pics here. 13 4
Stef N. Posted October 20 Posted October 20 That finish is superb. Brilliant detailing and a lush red gloss. 2
keefr22 Posted October 21 Posted October 21 Really good looking build, the detail work looks great and I love that paintjob! Keith 1
gamblor916 Posted October 21 Author Posted October 21 Thanks for the comments. Even though it's an older kit it still builds up nicely. 1
Natter Posted October 21 Posted October 21 Superb model. Very, very nicely made and an excellent finish. 1
Davi Posted October 22 Posted October 22 What a great finish and detail you've achieved on this bike, looks great! 1
Kiertomäntä Posted October 23 Posted October 23 This is great, I escpecially like the subtle CF to liven it up a bit. This is also one of the few really early Tamiya bike models which I haven't found for reasonable price. If only T would re-issue their old kits once in a century... 1 1
SnøMotion Posted October 24 Posted October 24 This looks fantastic @gamblor916, very well executed indeed. Lovely detail 👌 @Kiertomäntä, I actually bought this kit in the mid-late 90s and never built it! Other than opening the box, I don't think I touched it. I've just been up in the loft to see if I could find it, but it isn't there! I'm sure it's in the house somewhere, though. Martin 1
