Walter Wolf Suzuki RG250 Gamma

Hello all,

I completed Tamiya's 1/12 1986 Walter Wolf Suzuki RG250 Gamma last week...I built it pretty much box stock with the exception of some photoetch nuts, bolts and washers. Paint is Tamiya TS-55 decanted and cleared with Finisher's "Auto Clear". I would consider this a real quick build, it only took me around 4 weeks. Usually my projects take me months / years for each ...it was a real nice change. Just thought I would post some pics for y'all!!! Enjoy.

Re: Walter Wolf Suzuki RG250 Gamma

that's amazing!

one thing I'd do is chuck the brakes up in a lathe, or on a drill or something and sand down the grooves, then lay some BMF over the rotors and black wash it then. those grooves in the OOB rotors look like someone is going to kill themselves by not having any brakes!!!

Thanks for the tip RSXSE240. It looks more defined in my macro photos than it does in real life.

Fantastic model. One of the best bike builds I have ever seen. It's beautiful, not much else to say.
