Well I have visited the stash zone and after some head scratching I returned with another bike to build  This time I shall do the Tamiya 1/6 scale Honda CB750F as seen below. I bought this kit at a bargain price from a friend who had lost interest in modelling a while back and all he had done was to remove the frame from the sprue and joined the headstock parts together. A look at what we get to construct the bike. All the parts are the usual quality that we expect from Tamiya so all I have to do is decide which colour scheme to do.

Looks a very nice kit Al and will make a nice addition to your series of motorcycle builds. I'll look forward to watching the build develop.
Well done on your choice of kit!!

Thanks for commenting guys, it seems a very popular kit and one of several I have of the Tamiya 1/6 scale range.
It will be an out the box build but trying to decide whether to do a colour scheme from the box options or change the colour but still use the kit decals, any thoughts ?

I am sure whatever you decide it will be a superb build, personally I will do mine in the Honda colours, just not sure which one!

It's a superb kit mate I've built it twice and have plans for a third one, not one single bad fitting part that I can think of. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Whichever colour scheme you choose Al, I'm sure it'll look very nice when finished. If you feel adventurous and don't mind spending hours and hours scratchbuilding parts, you could always have a go at turning it into this:

What a beauty? I'm not really into bikes but I do like the look of a well built cafe racer, they look so mean!!

I may spend hours and hours on it Kev but there won't be no scratchbuilding involved  Afraid i'm an out and out sportsbike man myself so think the café racer is out. Al
