Tamiya 1/12 Honda CB750F Blitzbau Finished

[beany]

For those that don't follow the Group Build threads, here is the bike I built in just under 24 hours. There are still a few cables to connect up which I will need the instructions from the larger 1/6th scale kit to help me with as Tamiya are good with the 12th scale kit at showing where to connect one end of the vinyl tube but not so where the other end goes.

The build was challenging but went much better than expected and has inspired me to crack on with my 1/8th Nitto and 1/6th Tamiya versions of the same machine.













The 1/12, 1/8 and 1/6 kits in order.


Cheers
Al.

Lovely, I had the 900 when I was younger, still regret selling it but someone offered me silly money for it.

I only ever owned the 250cc but I loved it to bits.

I was driving through through Telford last week and passed a 250 Super Dream going the other way, my head turned so quickly I nearly got whiplash.

Very nicely done, Al and not the easiest of kits for a blitz I would imagine. I've always liked that Honda "Eurostyle" look and can clearly remember the "Crest of a New Wave" ads in MCN when the CB750/900F range was released. Did one of the side panel decals give you some grief? I was wondering as there is a 750 decal on one side and a 900 on the other?
