Well, my track record on Group Builds has not been great this year, with two finished late, my US Icon F14 still waiting for me to drum up the enthusiasm for some tricky masking and my MIG not even started. However, I have now packed up work for the winter so should have more bench time over the next few months. To that end, thanks to Paul for getting the GB up and running and here is my entry.
The Honda CB1000F is a new model for 2026 and the late delivery of it here in the UK meant that the Tamiya version was in the shops before the full size example. I've not yet had a look at one up close but its been getting some very good reviews. As for the kit, I've not built a 'modern' Tamiya kit and it looks very nice in the box. Here's what we've got to deal with:
Usual Tamiya box with the nicest colourway on the front......
Typical Tamiya instructions.....
Now a nice stapled book compared to the single piece pull-out type I'm more used to.
Decals etc...
Clear parts - nicely coloured on the tail light and reflector...
The plastic....
I'll likely strip this one......
And the other bits.......
Hoping to make a start on Sunday so welcome along to anyone that fancies following it with me.
