You don't need an airbrush with those cans, they do a great job. Looking forward to more of this.


If you decide to buy an airbrush at some point I have a small practically brand new compressor for sale on here that would save you money and is a half decent make compared to a cheap one off eBay.

What's your interest now then, mixed out sticking with bikes for a bit...
 
Thread owner
main interest is 1/12 bikes,but i am thinking of giving some military stuff a go,probably from tamiya and in 1 /35 scale,i still have a few bikes in the pipeline,Hasagawa yamaha 1988 and 1989 500 yzr's,tamiya yamaha yzr 500 from 1983 with the riding figure of Kenny Roberts and a tamiya conversion of the yzr 500 from 1998 ridden by Norick Abe

lovely mate, that should be some good watching for us. I ordered a nsr500 98' off ebay as it was like £15 quid. it will sit in the stash, Im a tad confused as they are £70 on amazon and £80 for the 99' I think
 
Thread owner
ebay is the place to look Dougie,those amazon prices are way way over the top

yeah I only bought it because I though it was a bargain! But I did intend to build one anyway. They will be re-released sometime anyway
 
Really nice looking bike model Paul. I've always liked how good examples of these models come together, the finished thing never fails to impress. This model, I am sure, will no different.


Great work


Paul


BTW, got the Tamiya YZR M1 '05 and Honda RC211 '06 in the stash with a few 'Crazy modeller' extras and some 'Zero' paints. Seeing these builds really makes me want to start them!
