Fantastic work from you, as usually. I always look forward to your builds. Especially I like the wheels, they look like real bike. Did you replace the spikes?

Perfect job!
Where did you get the spokes? I see the regular ones in the kit. https://www.hasegawausa.com/product-pages/hsgs1505.html

Also curious about the wheels. Especially the size of the spokes. I have a lot of bikes like this one that need new spokes.

Love your photos!

Kris.

Re: Hasegawa 1/12 Suzuki GT380 B

Beautiful bike, have to agree with others of those wheels. Really makes a difference when replacing the spokes.
I have missed the anouncment of this kit, had to order it now. My first motorbike back in 1974 was GT380, model year '73. So this model has different decals (no problem, they can be printed or painted), but also a different headlight if I'm not wrong?
