Hi everyone this is a work in progress on the 1/6 Tamyia Honda CB750 racer Japanese Domestic racing version 1971.I picked this kit up on the cheap after trying to find one for years and years and years it is huge .Normaly do the 1/12 gp bike .
One picture has the Ducati gp bike in for size (love those Duke’s ,heck any Duke)[:P]
front forks with wheel is 1/9 scale.
That’s cool. My Grandfather bought one new (street version). I’ve got a few pics of it here.
I too have been looking for one “on the cheap”. I see them listed on ebay for $90 “Buy It Now”. Insane. Awesome racer. The Dick Mann version, the one pictured on the box, won the 1970 Daytona 200. Beat the big Triumphs of the day. Keep posting pics.

The small bike is a 1/12 ns500.

It’s interesting to see that Tamiya’s 1/12 details isn’t too shabby when compared to the 1/6 bike. (Where’d you get that riding figure!!!) Are those factory chromed air funnels? and did you paint those throttle bodies yourself in aluminum?
All parts of engine are as is in kit(bonus)will gave a light wash later.
The rider figure is a carl Fogerty by RPM I think they only made so many and haven’t seen one since (brought it about 5-6 years ago ).
If you are after one I have a Tamyia cornering rider figure sitting around here,not to hard to redo as a mordern one [:D]
Have done a wee bit more on this,next is cowling,petrol tank .
Will try and add some extra’s + some touch up with paint ,till this time next week and should be finnished (I hope)[;)]
