TAMIYA 14011 CR250R with rider

[simontie]

An old kit I picked up a while back from flea bay, sadly missing a fork, all ready started with some assembled parts and painted.
But looks to be all there (like me) oh apart from the missing fork but i have a cunning plan for this,
kit pics below rider i have had a while its all there ( like me), so i will strip the paint over the next few days and dismantle as much as will come a part and re build, the missing for is identical to the one i have so i will make a 2 piece mould and pour a new one from resin, thats the plan anyway i will keep you up dated as i go

Stripped off the old paint and chrome plating, been trialling the mould for the new fork with some success and some not so successful. Assembled rider

Not as far on as i thought i would be with this the mould and the resin take a while to go off, pictured is not the final item I’m still trying to get it perfect.
sadly my best friend passed away this week, so It might be a week or 2 before i post more up dates
