I too have been looking for one "on the cheap". I see them listed on ebay for $90 "Buy It Now". Insane. Awesome racer. The Dick Mann version, the one pictured on the box, won the 1970 Daytona 200. Beat the big Triumphs of the day. Keep posting pics.

It's interesting to see that Tamiya's 1/12 details isn't too shabby when compared to the 1/6 bike. (Where'd you get that riding figure??!!!!) Are those factory chromed air funnels? and did you paint those throttle bodies yourself in aluminum?

All parts of engine are as is in kit(bonus)will gave a light wash later.
The rider figure is a carl Fogerty by RPM I think they only made so many and haven't seen one since (brought it about 5-6 years ago ).
If you are after one I have a Tamyia cornering rider figure sitting around here,not to hard to redo as a mordern one Big Smile [:D]
