My model table has been updated by Tamiya, the Honda CRF 1000L Africa Twin on a 1/6 scale.
After opening the large box inside, we find an incredible number of parts from which I will build this wonderful machine.
See what the box contains.

I built a cylinder block engine.
I sprayed the whole glossy black base and, after perfect drying, polished and sprayed with Alclad II.

A little progress on the engine. The engine is in basic colors, waiting for it with a patina and some shadows.

The frame and the fork are glued, molded and completely finished in color and matt varnish.

I like the way you get your paint looking so factory applied - really smooth and on just the parts it needs to be.

You must have a very steady hand to be able to achieve such a lovely finish.

Happy Modelling

The wheels are finished and I have to say that it is worth the effort. The construction of these two wheels took two days and mainly a lot of nerves and energy. It's a test of calm hands and balance sheets. As a bonus when I dry the colors I added the rear fender for light and reflector.

Yesterday, the tuning set of the Honda CRF 1000L Africa Twin arrived home. I have to say it will be nice when it is folded.
