Shame about the decals otherwise good work.

Ah yes, CHiPs Saturday nights before the British comedies started. Homework done, chores done, dinner gobbled up, pocket money spent on lollies, ready for the TV fest.


Great work so far Paul. I did not realise these were Kawasaki bikes, always presumed they were Harley Davidsons.

hope to make some rapid progress now all the fiddly paint bits are done

starting to look like a bike now!


want to try and get the fairing on later on today and the running boards, that will leave the boxes on the back for tomorrow which im dreading


without doubt this has been the hardest bike kit ive ever done

Looking rather nice Paul, think you have done a great job so far.

[Guest]

It may have been the hardest.


But you're doing a damn fine job of it.

[PaulTRose]

the end is in sight! lol


fairing was a bugger to line up and hold til the adhesive went off

[papa 695]

Loved the tv show chips back in the day.


This kit looks nice and you are doing a great job so far

and finished.........


without doubt the hardest bike kit I've ever done........but also very enjoyable!


the decals were very thin.......the broke up even if I was careful.............show them the bottle of microsol and they dissolved immediately!.......several times the instructions were contradictory and even downright wrong!......the amount of chrome bits made it 'interesting'.....lots of fiddly bits that needed three hands lol


but I'd certainly do another Aoshima kit.......looking out for a Yamaha VMax
