    Yamaha XV1000 Virago......Paint It Black GB

    Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha Virago

    Done this kit many times over the years.....first time in black though.... .a colour, like yellow, that i tend to avoid

    I used a rattle can of metallic black from halfords to get the sparkle.....no idea what car it was supposed to be for.....they must have had over two dozen different metallic blacks!....i just picked a sparkly one lol

    Back drop is just some sparkly card from a craft shop and a Yamaha logo

    really enjoyed this GB....just my sort of thing

    Nice one Paul. In Denmark those have gotten the nickname Yamaha Midlife Crisis.
    Oh I move this to Civilian vehicles section as it doesn't quite fit in the Aircraft section. (They are not that quick).
