I've finally completed the project Nippon Racer. From 5 pages of card to this, in just under 3 weeks worth of lunchtimes.








Completed Model is 23cm long, 10cm wide.
It's been a challenge. There have been moments when i've been tearing my hair out.
There are bits i can improve on, but in general, I'm a happy bunny.

Thanks all - I'm really happy with how it turned out.
You're not wrong, Doc - these things are tricky to build, especially when the instructions can be vague at best, and "vague but explained in japanese" at worst.

I know what you mean. I'm so stubborn that I usually complete the models even though I'm not happy with the result, but the faults on this one are small enough that I like the finished result.

I have just started one of the Yamaha bikes, but it looks like its going to be massive... Possibly too big to build at work.
