A Tamiya bike thingy

[The_Jackal]

1/12 Yamaha YZR M1 '09 Monster Tech 3
The best and most detailed model I have done. Glad it is finished now and I can just look at it.
Used the Fork upgrade set and about a third of the Top Studio full upgrade set, notably the muffler, throttle connectors, seat pad, radiator grill and clutch cover.
Hard work but you get a lot of detail for your money in Tamiya bikes.

Looks like the real thing. The detail kits help tremendously to bring as kit to life.
I did the valentino Rossi bike years ago without the upgrades, still looks good today.
Congrats on a fab build.

Very nice.

Tamiya do a chain kit for 1/6 bikes where you put all the links togeher.

lol I don't need that in my life.

That's a nice build - well done!

This Ninja H2R build by David Damek went full on with the extra details and carbon fibre decals.....I got eye strain just watching him build up the chain!

That looks awesome, if you had posted that in bike banter I would have thought it was the real thing!

Cheers, I can't do better than that.

That is a cool video, I love his comment about the brake discs: "why use 1 part when you can use 26?"
