my entry for the bike GB


ive done this kit before a long time ago so i know it goes together with no drama, as per normal for a Tamiya kit


but im not going to do it as it should be............these only ever came in a metallic silver (apart from some later ones in a red/white scheme) and im not keen on it, so it will get done in a colour as yet undecided

coming along nicely, did you shade the carbs at all or is that just the lighting? they look real.
