Hi all

A contrast to the DeAg Spitfire, I was looking around for something else to build and decided to build the Tamiya 1/6th Honda CB750F.

I discovered the parts aren't as good a fit as the Tamiya Tiger I've just built but nevertheless a nice model.

I've attached some photos of my progress.

Regards all

Alan

Thanks Nemesis

Perhaps it's popular because of Tamiya's attention to detail?

It is a good looking kit when complete.

Cheers.

Hi Trev

It is a nice kit. I'm seriously impressed with the detail. As with the Spitfire I'm really looking forward to finishing it-I may even be allowed to display it in the front room!!!BigGrin Photo shows finished petrol filler cap and tank!

Regards.

Alan

Hi Derek, thanks

It really is very well detailed. I am taking my time on this one and I think that makes a huge difference. After all there is a lot of intricate detail on display.

Cheers
