Very nice build! I’ve always liked how that front end was engineered on the real bike.

Thanks, it’s a fascinating design isn’t it.

Hi,

That looks cool. You don’t often get a chance to see too many motorcycle models, and yours really looks great.

Thankyou, that’s very kind of you.
Motorbikes and cars are my main modelling interest, I do love to see military builds but the civilian vehicles seem to be quite rare on the UK based forums.

Ah, the Tesi looks great! Really good job on the build. Even though I’m an avid motorcyclist I’ve only built 1/1 real motorcycle examples. My wife won the 1/12 Tesi kit as a door prize at the last model show and I’m looking forward to building my first small motorcycle kit. Currently I’m deep into a 1/1 vintage Hodaka road racer project from all my spare parts and scratch. I’ll try to work the Tesi in next!

Hey, your other models look great too! You do good work.

Thanks guys, you’ll enjoy building the kit if you like motorbikes, Tamiyas kits build excellently
