Hasegawa 1/12 Honda NSR500 Eddie Lawson

[1320]

Another willing victim on the bench tonight, the Hasegawa 1/12 nsr500 from 1989. The quality of the kit looks great so far, I'm just getting sub assemblies together to start with. I have ordered the 'Rothmans' tobacco fill in decals from Europe, hopefully I continue to be impressed by the kit, I have a few more of them to do. 

Thanks for tuning in again

Pretty cool 

 

Growing up, one of the "cool kids" had an one of these (but a 50cc)

Pretty cool bike but of course, my MTs always took him on the top end 

 

(This bike reminded me of that one)

I just realised it's been nearly a year between updates on this one. I'm sometimes a bit slack and life gets in the way.

The Rothmans tobacco decals turned up, the engine is mostly done, the wheels are on the way and now I'm getting the tank, fairings and frame ready for paint again. They have already been painted twice and stripped. Hopefully this time!

Thanks for looking.

Holy Schnickies it's looking great! These Hase kits are as good as their Tamiya counterparts.

Watching.
