Hers my offering for the GB, never done a motor bike kit but was extremely lucky to briefly ride the real thing back in 1996.

Ooh that's rather lovely. There's something brutally elegant about this series of bikes. The one I briefly rode was chassis number 6 IIRC ( the first 2 allegedly went to the Sultan of Brunei ) and the owner went to Kyalami racetrack and got Agostini to sign the tailpiece which I had to clearcoat over to preserve it. He's still got the bike.

Wait. Is that 1-to-1 scale modelling?

This is my subject for this GB.

There's a lot of cross-over skills.....

But a lot less gluing?

I will join in too if that's okay. I will have a look later to see which Tamiya kit will become a bench victim

I'm aiming to do one of these - but I may still buy a dinosaur, because why not.

No, but I can definitely afford a tenner for a Tamiya one, and luckily, that will be on brief.

I really want to join in but life , farm and lack of mojo keeps getting in the way. I have a bunch of 1/48 Tamiya Armor to select from that I would like to build for this GB. You can’t sign me up if you want.

I’m sorry I’ve let those who hosted previous GB in the pass down that I never finished or even started.

Maybe a good shot in the arm by Motron will help. bed #409 Please

This will possibly be my entry.

I’ve got a couple of nice Quickboost resin seats to jazz up the cockpit and would finish it as the photo reconnaissance aircraft included with the options.

Or this, also with a nice replacement resin seat and some brass gun barrels.



I just can’t decide

Geoff.
