Tamiya 1/12 YZR-M1 Fiat Yamaha team Estoril.

Post by Scottwba »

Hi all,

This is my latest addition to my model portfolio. Kit is going together perfectly with minimal sanding & filling so far.

The detail on the engine is excellent, pity the iphone don't do it justice.

Hopefully starting the fairing detail tomorrow.

Thanks for looking

Scott.

Nice....I can feel the rush now ripping out at break neck speed until reaching a full throttle high speed run! :) :thumb1: :thumb1: :clap:

Very tidy. I love the Tamiya bike kits, they truly are a pleasure to build and always produce good results.

Thanks for the kind comments.

I agree about the kits being a pleasure never really had a bad kit bike & when you have to use the screwdriver to insert the small screws it adds a small amount of realism.
