    Looks good mate. Nice only having two major panels, bikes tend to have 5 or more usually.

      It has made it easier, the saddle on is a single piece while the front fairing is three but they went together in typical Tamiya fashion

        I seem to have missed a couple of updates Mick. Coming along nicely.

          Just had a catch up on this. It’s looking very nice indeed Mick. I‘ve only done a couple, but find assembling bike kits is very like building a real one…..

            Thanks Tim, I used to watch orange county choppers so some bits of the build look familiar

              I can almost see the chequered flag now. Glass parts to fit and tidy up the front where the decal sank into the two recesses, then paint the stand.

                      A big thanks to Bob for getting this GB going as I’ve never built a large scale bike before and it’s certainly been a steep learning curve. I have enjoyed it Click image for larger version

                          WOW Mick!!! Holiday certainly got the juices flowing my friend. Even with work going on afterwards, you've turned out a real winner!!! Now where's your helmet to take her for a ride???........
