Tamiya 1/12 Honda NSR500

Post by andyh1970 »

So this was my first ever bike build, and must admit I was really looking forward to it.

But things didnt start well, the paint I was using which was a Halfords Automotive rattle can, just didnt sit well and so I had to strip, sand and start again....I later discovered I hadnt shaken the can well enough.

So I decided to pack the kit away, as I had a few other builds and come back to it later.

And after a few weeks I picked the kit up again, and it just all fell together. I had a couple of issues with the decals, but nothing a bit of touch up paint would clear up.

I ended up absolutely loving this build, and really pleased with the end result, so much so I have just brought another couple of bike builds.

Anyway I hope you enjoy.

I'll say it fell together - wish my builds fell like that. Sweet bike, sir, and looking forward to more.
