lots of micro sol and hair dryer work on the decals but turned out nice now they just need a final coat of clear over them and a light polish i can now start on the rest of the kit i like to get the bodywork out of the way first

I agree, turned out really nice!

Is this the Tamiya's re-issue of the original "first bike" they made?

Tervo yes it is the re-issue bike i built this bike first time round so i thought it was only fair to have another go at it

Great Bike! I got this one, also the 1983 Marlboro. love to start them, but I'm up to my eyes in NSR Honda's, looking forward to seeing your build.
