Mike C Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 This is a Gunze Sangyo HiTec kit I got a few years back. It's a collectible but I got it for a bargain price when I came across it at a model contest. So I figured I might as well build it. Thee frame is a soft metal and it has real spoke wheels. Those were fun wiring up. I do want to get the new Tamiya 1/12 Honda RC166 with all the added extras to build. That's in my Amazon wish list right now. Anyway, here's the bike:But first here's some of the WIP shots of the wheel: Here's the fork:I painted AlClad on the shiny metal parts because polishing them up really didn't make them shiny, they looked more gray, same on the engine too: Here's some engine shots:I put some Yellow on the gas line to make it look like there was gas in the line. Here's the bike without the fairing:I made the stand. It didn't come with one, but they gave directions on how to make it.
Codi Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 This thread put a big ol' smile on MY face. Really like what you did with the kit. Count me too as a fan. tim
