machine_marty Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hi all, please see my completed Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha YZF-R1. Built out of the box. Drilled out brake discs and used Zero paints with 2K clear coat. She still needs a number plate but other than that she's done. A first motorbike for me and it won't be the last The Madhatter, J.J. and Greg W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it hand painted? Brilliant. yes I agree if you had outdoor setting it would definitely look like the Real Yamaha. Thank you both Yes, it is hand painted (well, using an airbrush anyway). It turned out better than I had hoped for. Zero paints are superb to use and are very forgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Nice! Really like the Tamiya bike kits, love the MotoGP bike kits with an added splash of Studio 27 etc! Regards. Andy machine_marty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
