Great pic, have you done the rd500 standard? Yes it is standard. Got 3 of them, 1 I’ll do standard, 1 as the bike Parrish raced and another as a special. They aren’t a bad kit. Look forward to the pics 👍

Take it that's the Tamiya kit? For aeons they were the best out there and I still think they are. Aoshima, whilst they are brilliant, are over-detailed. Parts that you never see for example, like that oil filter on the 400/4. Even had a decal. Then an engine casing goes over it never to be seen again. Seems pointless to me.

Looks great. The only problem today with the older kits is the fact they come with 30yr old plus rubber. 👍😁

Finally got one of these. As replicas goes this one is spot on. I did the usual research as to colour schemes and those pics are 100% for the film. Also has the correct number plates but some awful flame decals... This is the Plymouth Fury and not a Belvedere as some people think the car actually was. The Fury was made for 3 years with the funky interior and paint job, otherwise exactly the same cars. I made a drag car version years ago (I'll get some pics of that) and always wanted to make the real thing. Alex

Just been on YT and saw something about 10 interesting facts about Christine.
The 'beauty car' ie the one featured parked up and being driven very carefully was made on October 31st.
Spooky huh?

Back on it. I got a chrome pen off eBay and this thing works really well. I'm going to try some lighting on this, especially the green glow that comes from the dashboard. Drilled some tiny holes but I think more holes are needed. Alex

Got a couple, what’s the plan? Always loved Vincents since gazing at them in verralls at Tooting Bec in the mid/late 70’s.

I got three of them in a joblot and one is part build so I will build that one to start with. I have got a few other bike models I need to start Tzr, RG and a NSR. I am a big fan of Vincent's and the HRD's just so iconic👍

The problem is there is no 1/12th Manx, I’ve considered doing a replica of rollie free’s Vincent record breaker. I’ve a gunze sangyo Bsa gold star metal frame etc, sold a few of my kits recently as well due to time or lack of, however still got over 60 bike kits 5 are nearly finished just need to get my arse in gear. You could do an Egli type vinnie. The only thing I never liked about Vincent’s was the seat.

Jay leno has a good vid of his Egli which is worth a watch 👍 I am not a fan of the seat either.
