That's a stunner, James, well done on your effort and the informative build log.
Please pack it well for the SMW journey.
I hope it gets the coverage it deserves.

An excellent build of this classic motorcycle kit, James, together with a very interesting build log that was great to follow. The finished model really is one to be proud of.

Stunning work James with effort above and beyond the call on what was already a challenging build. Must be the bookies favourite for the most photographed kit on the CBK table at Telford this year!

James, I don’t know how, but I missed this build. You’ve done a real masterpiece, and I’ve got my eye on some brilliant technique that will leave some trace in my knowledge. Thank you.

A superb job James. I built this kit many years ago so I feel your pain. Yours is ten times better than mine ever was though

Very smartly turned out, James! Some of those close-ups can pass for the real thing, no worries!

Excellent start James, I didn't know that existed.
Thanks,

Lovely model. That old kit has a lot of potential.
If anyone has one to build, I believe that possibly Motobitz does a set of replacement tyres for it.
