Tamiya Yamaha RD250LC & 350LC completed!

[Gareth350]

Have just completed my latest Tamiya Yamaha builds! An RD250LC & 350LC!
Both bought off e-bay for around £10 each.

They are actually japanese spec bikes, main difference being called RZ's & having square mirrors & the 250 having different decals. Luckily the 350 came with the correct decals in two colours!

Made the round mirrors to the correct Europe spec.

Hope you like.

They look great - are the wheels metal? If they are painted plastic you've made a superb effort there.

Thanks a lot. The wheels are plastic, come as chrome finish on the sprue, then paint in the black parts. Absolute pain to do, took around an hour each side of each wheel! As i built them in tandem, thats around 8 hours in total for 4 wheels!

That's what it's all about! You took your time, but the result was well worth the effort.
