Kitset Models

[Waylander]

Where would I go to get one of these models of say a.. Yammaha XV1100? Preferably around Hamilton or somewhere online.

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

Don't think Tamiya have your model, but check out the web page. Some great bikes there.

I made a RG250 by Tamiya, bloodly mean as details. Most of their models kick arse Like their ww2 german range

Oooh 'dangerous', checked out that Protar model site. Some ripper classics etc there. It's a must to see. I might be tempted to start making them again. http://www.imex-model.com/protar.htm

This is the only bike that I could find.. its the XV1600Roadstar..

ITEM 14080
Yamaha XV1600 Roadstar

So the one you have would be about as close to mine and Waylanders bike.
With ONE big exception. ... Mine has spokes not like that bike in the model.

I noticed that one on the site. Hailwood rode it back in the 60's I think.

You could try: Frankton Model Shop - Model Barn, Thames - Cambridge model Shop.

Impressive collection there Gav. All Tamiya?

Yip, all Tamiya, its the bloody paint that adds to the cost of these damn things!!
err except for the two Ducatis on the bottom shelf, The Fila race bike and the MotoGP bike #12, these were bought at the local Warehouse (the warehouse, the warehouse, where everyone gets a bargain) all ready assembled, think they were only $10 each or something, even licensed Ducati stuff and all, and the Brocky HSV came with a pack of Mobil1 oil

I've got about 10 models in boxes just waiting for a rainy day to make up - well, Hamish makes them up, I'm too "rip shit and bust".

He's made a couple up, mainly Ducatis - an 888 and a Monster.

Have got several BMW and Ducatis, and an MV F4 that we've bought ready made up (some from The Warehouse) that sit in our china cabinet. Only problem is that they differ in scale, but they're all pretty detailed.

Haven't yet figured out how to take a digital photo and post it on here, one day when I figure out how I'll take a photo of the china cabinet!
