sports850 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I'm hoping to do a build of a friends bike for next Christmas but am having trouble finding one , the bike is a 1981 Kawasaki GPZ1100 , like the photo below (scrounged off Google , not my friends bike) , Does anyone know of any kit's or even diecast bikes availible of this bike or something close enough to modify please ?
LDO Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I think Aoshima's 1/12 Z1R would be a good starting point.
Ben Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Tamiya offered that kit in 1/8 scale. They may have offered it in 1/12 as well but I'm not sure. I remember my friend having the big scale one though.
Ben Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) My bad, it was a 1/6 Z1300, here's a link to a pic. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10088696 Edited January 25, 2012 by Ben
LDO Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Heller made a couple of Z1000s in 1/8 scale; a street bike and a racer.
sports850 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Excellent , thank's for the tips everyone (especially the Heller one , that hadn't come up in any of my searches ) , I'll start searching now and see what I can get a hold of and start modifying
Scale-Master Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I think I have a Union kit of that bike. It might be another brand, I'll have to take a look at the box to refresh my recollection...
Scale-Master Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Found it... at least the one I was thinking of. 1/16th scale Union KZ1000D Z1-R. Not sure how different they are once scaled down. And there may be the version you requested specifically too. I'll try to check my inventory for it next time I'm there.
