I'm calling this one done

Funny John! I'd have to modifiy it though!

Thanks Max - You need to petition Tamiya to do a Hodaka

Good job for sure. Looks real to me!

Max

It's the green that attracted me to the kit.

Thanks Johnny - it's front and center on the new shelves :)

Hogfanfs - thanks for the kind words. 

John,

Wow! It turned out fantastic! 

I'm calling this one done.  If you haven't built one of these recent Tamiya 1/12 motorcycle kits I suggest you do.  They are really a joy to build.  If you are a painter, you'll love these kits.

I built a few back then too.  The newer kits are even better!

Cool John,

I built a couple back in the 70's and really enjoyed them. I would like to get another someday.

Got all the plumbing done and the final details.  Here's a shot of her before buttoning up all the panels.  Kinda sad as it hides the details

All buttoned up, ready for decals

As an example of the increadible engineering these 1/12 scale recent moto kits have - the windshield installs with NO glue needed!  Slick.

Got started on the decals.  They are still settling, but wow even the decals are well thought out.

These 1/12 scale tamiya kits are extremely well engineered. 

Did a bit more work and I think next is body panels :o   Need to paint and polish

Anyhow - more fork detail, handblebar grips etc.  Nice decals providing really cool detail

The more I see these kits and how they go together, the more I really want to try one.  Thanks for posting this build log.  

Scott

Just checking on you and your build. Cool!

Max

Forks and front wheel on.  Still lots to do

Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished results. I have never built a bike before but I might try one after seeing this. 

At 1/12 scale this sucker's already packin' a punch in the detail department and then you go and add all this "fun stuff". This one outta be good.

All Right! This looks fun. I am a motorcycle guy and modeler. I do have the Tamiya Bimota stashed here somewhere. Anyway, I'll keep an eye on you to see how this goes. It looks good so far.

Looking good! I love MotoGP bikes. I'm looking forward to more progress.

Little more work.   Front forks are next then body work.  I really love these Tamiya bike kits.

Been a while, but I spent some time on the bike this weekend.  These kits are a joy to build - though is it me or are some of the tamiya metalics really not brush friendly....

Great looking kit, and very nice start! I'll be around watching

Good start on that engine.

The upgrade parts look good.  This should be interesting.

I've built a few bikes myself.
