Looks really good matey. I’ve started one of my gsxr yoshimura but stupidly bought the complete etched brass set for it. Just finished a cx500 turbo and half way through an mvx250 and rg250. I need to post some pics.

Thanks Tim! Yeah, get some pics up. A CX500 Turbo is a rare bike and a rare kit too.

Front end is on along with many cables. I gave up using the Hasegawa ones after fitting them to the brakes. They are flimsy and not made of rubber and I've realised there isn't enough to finish the bike. Happily I had some spare Tamiya cables so all is not lost! Alex

Thanks chaps! Still a ways to go. Fairing next and getting the decals to fit properly is going to be tricky. You'll see why soon!

Micro sol and micro set Alex that’s what you need for those. 👍

Yep! Gonna need a sharp blade to slice them perfectly.

That website infuriated me though. So much stuff not in stock. For example that Honda Dream model was £6.82. Insanely cheap.

That’s really interesting I’ve got a copy of the godier genoud kit. I’ve often thought of doing gooses bike. I’ve a few z1000 as well in 1/12th again thought of doing toe cutters or bubbas bike.

I'd go for it Tim. I've always wondered if there was a kit for his bike but this is a close as you'll get. But check the GG kit. I had one once. The tyres were so warped I could never get them to fit the rims and the quality of the parts were laughable. But if you can overcome this (and I bet you can) this would be a true one-off and a superb thing to own.

It’s bloody expensive though. I’ll watch and see what happens. 👍

Been a while but the Zook nears completion. The decals on the fairing were a little tricky. Putting them on was straightforward and then I let them dry without applying any decal softener. Then the b*****do part. Using a very sharp modelling knife I sliced through the decals. One mistake and that's it! Thankfully it all went well, some Micro Sol and all done. Alex

Yes Tim, the Tamiya one. This is going to be like the race bikes, so no lights, racing numbers, extended oil cooler etc. I like a challenge lol.
