Never built a motor bike before, this is the 1:9 Italeri Manx Norton:

It's pretty much OOB, except I made new front and rear shock absorbers, the kit ones are massive due to the internal spring. I swapped some of the kit tubing for some copper wire too

 

Fun!

Beautiful! 

 

I am working on Tamiya's 1/12 Ducati 1199 Panigale Tricolore right now!

 

The Manx Norton and a few other of those Italeri/Protar 1/9 kits are on my to do list.

 

For those would would never think to do it, treat yourself some time to whatever Tamiya 1/12 bike kit you like best.


They are some of the best modeling experiences to be had out there, and not even that expensive.

 

Just jewels of engineering, fit, finish, injection molding, they almost all come with Cartograf decals, etc.

So, this is what you've been working on.  I, too, have been spending time building a non-aircraft model.

Nice and clean OOB build.

I wish the racing sidecar model (BMW, I think) would be reissued.  Or re-invented.
