Kitset Models

[zadok]

Tamiya make a nice model. Can anyone recomend any other brands worth looking at?
As a result of 'Blackbird' posting those wonderful line drawings of his, based on the Tamiya models, I thought I would take some pics of mine to post. Would like to see any other models that folks have pics of.
I've had some trouble posting JPG files, so I will try another post after this with my pics.

Protar do some awesome kits hard to find tho 1/9 scale so bit bigger than the Tamiya's but that means more detail heres a couple I have V8 MotoGuzzi and a BMW both 500cc (even had head gear crank and pistons to put into the BMW)

Took me a few hours each. Did them years ago when I separated from my first wife and needed something to occupy my mind. The trick is not to rush. I used Tamiya cans of spray paint for the main body of the bikes and a very fine brush for all the little bits.

Cool, mines a XV250 so I wonder if they make the 250 model.
Plus my bike is black and white.

There's some superb talent on display here

Seeing the Guzzi V8 brought back memories. I used to have an early Stanley Schofield vinyl recording of race bikes. One of the tracks was Hailwood's Honda 6 at the IOM. That waspretty sensational, but paled into insignificance compared with Dickie Dale on the Guzzi at Hockenheim. Who needs Penthouse
