Hi I’m new to scale model building after receiving a 1/75 military tank a few weeks ago I’ve just been and grabbed a few 1/12 motorcycles (I’m a bike mechanic) never thought I’d like building models or have the patience for it but really enjoyed the mini tank so thought why not try motorcycles haha so I’ve a Honda nsr factory racer and Suzukis rg500 along with airbrush and a whole lotta tamiya paints really excited to begin and be part of this forum any tip tricks welcome

Welcome to the forum Jordan. I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here so join in and have fun. Motorcycle kits can be a bit fiddly but build up into stunning models.
I notice you're from Leeds. I spent 35+ years in Pontefract and knew Leeds well.

Welcome to the party Jordan.
Welcome
Always great to see another bike builder....... Watch the decals on the nsr, can be a bit fiddly
My advice would be to learn how to use the air brush before you do a kit, nothing more disheartening than buggering up a kit youve spent time on
Feel free to ask questions on here, someone will always have an answer
