yamaha yzr500 grand prix racer

made a start on this it makes a change to most of the modern stuff that is going around at the moment

i was hoping to paint all of these parts today but the weather was not good today so i will get done soon



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

still got the engine and brakes to sort out but looking very nice so far

I agree, turned out really nice!

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

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.
