Very nice think there is a bit of bike theme on here at the moment as for the kit hope it does not give u to much trouble Kpnuts.

Hi all well this kit is deffo going to be a challenge the frame is full of sink holes and seams also the tank and side panels are moulded in two halves have no locating pins and are warped to hell.
I have glued some tabs to one half and am hoping that the wont foul on anything when it comes to putting it on, and also that it will help with lining everything up, fingers crossed.

Hi all well this is the most twisted piece of model I have ever worked on.






I was wondering if I would be able to get it ligned up at all
But after Hurculean efforts




there are no decals in this kit for the paint work, instead there are these handy moulded lines

Handy that is if you want to do it as the box art, not if you want something diffrent so I had so sand all those off.



now to try the marbeling







I am going to add at least one more colour to this so we will see how it turns out. No biggie if it dosnt work got plenty of oven cleaner.

Colour looks good at the end Ken, It will flatten out nicely with some micro-mesh

Nicely done Ken, that is an interesting colour scheme, looks good

Hi all here is another update on this pig of a kit, it really is no where near the quality of the La Reale the chain is so warped I'm not even going to try to correct it the axles are not going to allow the wheels to rotate and even if they did it wouldnt last long, Why cant kit manufacturers get together and combine all the good thing they all do, then we would end up with fantastic kits.
I really hope the CB 750 K1  is not the same as this.









I decided gold might go quite well with this colour scheme

Well after retrieving the bike from its unscheduled flight across the room (it must be fairly aerodynamic as no breakages just some unguleing) and searching, took me nearly half an hour to find the back of the rear caliper, and almost as long to get it back on, since it's all installed on the rear wheel. I've decided to cut the top length of the chain off as it was so warped I couldn't get the chain guard on, and with the guard in place no one will see the chain anyway. I'm having a bit of a chill out now, before I battle with this kit again. I am determined to win though, I will take no injured in this battle its win or die.

Hi all nearing the end I think the kit has given in. dare I say i'm winning.
