Plastic model bike kits

WOW. What a large piece of carbon with what must be the world biggest allen head bolts. That's the only sensible thing I can think because making engine parts that small just doesn't seem possible.

 

fecking jesus! they look good!... I used to have a Vincent HRD model - can't remember if it was Tamiya - anyway, I half made it, had the engine made and painted and I was struggling with the head stock as I put the frame together. Anyway, I put it away for a few months and when I came back to it half the bloody kit had gone missing!... my 9 year old son (at the time) never did own up to it!...

...I sometimes whimsically think to myself I must get another one and make it - along with the 916 - but I haven't got round to it yet!.....mmmm.... I feel an eBay browse coming on....

 

I have a 1/12 Ducati 750 Sport(bevel) half assembled since 198?. Think its all there. Got a bit of dust in the paint that stopped me finishing it.

 

Since 198???? That's a bloody long time!

 

Guessing 81/2. I had a real one then, wish I still had that, even in bits.
