Beany's Bike(s)

Post by beany »

Brilliant - a GB that isn't a GB - and for moticicles too!! My biggest beef with official GBs is that you can't do started kits - ALL of my kits are started to some extent or another. :evil:
So a quick thrash through the stash revealed this lot...

... and that's without getting up into the loft where the big boys are: Nitto 1/8 CB900F and Tamiya 1/6 CB750 Four etc.

This could be just what I need to get my mojo back - absent since well before Xmas I'm afraid. :frown:

Cheers
Al.

I'm not sure to be honest - the Bol D'or Honda 950SS was the latest purchase from eBay, so I might carrying on with that ones as so far I have only bleached the horrible chrome plating off of the plastic parts (that seem to be compulsory with any motorcycle kit) ready for spraying with Alclad.

Nice selection Al. I'd love to see the Honda finished.

Although that Z1300 looks rather interesting....

Got mine from eBay mate from China or Taiwan - paid about £40 if I remember correctly. I'll get up in the loft and find it this evening and post some photos for you.

There is one listed at the moment:

Its the one before mine but that sure does look nice, having just spent a rather large amount on paint and three kits I don't think I should take the risk with my own house hold chancellor
