Build #1 Tamiya 14010 1:12 scale Suzuki GSX1100S Katana COMPLETED

[TheSmoo]

- BUILD COMPLETED - Another of Tamiya's very early kits, still lots of them about, this was my 1st bike build I had done in 25 years, not Tamiya's usual high quality as you would expect with their new range and I made a lot of school boy errors with it, cheap as chips though at around £13.00 so it was a good one to practice on all painted by hand using Tamiya Acrylics and TS17 Gloss Aluminium



Box art


finished build - all painted by hand using Tamiya Acrylics and TS17 Gloss Aluminium, not too bad for a 1st attempt and a cheap £13.00 kit

rear view, not the prettiest bike in the world

not bad for a 1st bike build, detailing could have been better though

hated the chrome parts and the split front fairing

schoolboy error - didnt take the seam lines out the tank as I do now tut tut
