yep...standard decals. Also came with different numbers, etc. for teammate Frankie Chili. Everything is as it came in the kit - bar the fuel tank breather hose.

Thats just a bit of insulation from a small electrical wire.

If I didn't know better I would think I was looking at the real bike. I really enjoy the Tamiya motorcycles. As with other Tamiya kits the level of detail is astounding. The only thing that gives it away as a model is the thickness of the brake rotors. I have machine tools (lathe and mill) for my other hobbies so I chuck the rotors up and thin them down. Great work.

Edited to correct link to pics:)

This is a model I made 6 or 7 years ago, which I recently dug out and having only come back to modelling, decided to give it a few coats of Klear, and to sand the mold lines off the tyres.



Its a Tamiya TZM250 - the bike Harada won the 250GP title on in 1993.



Currently working on the 94 bike also made a few years back. This has a bit of decal damage that needs repairing, before it gets the Klear treatment.
