But for me, it's the most boring thing I'II try to start a little bit here and there with silver, black end matte black finish...

The Tamiya bike kits are lovely. I built my brother one many years ago. This will just fall together for you.

Agree with above, if you can't build a 3 dimensional day dream out of one of these, there is something wrong with you.

[lambretta]

I understand a little, but thanks anyway....


the first piece is done...a wheel

at this point decide for the bodywork reinforcement correspondence
interior parts and cover with the bottom.

beginning to paint these 2 pieces through the airbrush very atomized tomorrow the second coat of white ..

I am rather biased when it comes to motorcycles but this is looking very nice indeed.

Looking forward to further progress with this model .

Nice one. I believe these bikes were sold in Britain as the RD500LC YPVS during the 1980's and the real machines are now very collectable. Great to see a model of one being built

Absolutely right Shaun. Yamaha had the RD500LC while Suzuki had the RG500 Gamma. Both were based on Moto GP racing bikes, cost an arm and a leg to run and now fetch rather silly prices on the second hand market.

My cousin had an RG500 in the 80's and I had a few goes on it. Quite an amazing machine to ride, but it did have rather a thirst for fuel

Any more progress on this??? as I bought this kit at xmas I was following your build with interest.

[WheresMyMojo]

Lambretta, personally I reckon it would be great if someone actually made a..Lambretta! I'm sure they'd make a popular subject, and the later models would, like many aircraft, be so easy to issue in different versions, with lots of potential for after-market bits and customising.

I have actually recently been eyeing up Ebay for an Italeri small-frame Vespa, but hard to come by and a bit expensive.

[lambretta]

I apologize for the delay ..


This is the most difficult job, wrap the colours to divide them from each other

The colour is ok. I proceed with the decals!

[ShaunW]

Oh wow, that is looking great Lambretta.
