Completed Tamiya 1/12 Honda RC211v

It's been a while for me since posting anything new here. This is the Tamiya kit built from the box. It's the brightest colored model in my display case now...:grinyes:

The kit goes together very well as would be expected from Tamiya. I used Pactra R/C spray paints over tamiya white primer, cleared with tamiya clear then polished. Other than a few decal blemishes I'm happy with the result.

Thanks for looking.

Amazing work on the decals.Overall a really nice bike model.I particularly like your treatment of the front fork area,it looks like it has a texture on the grey areas next to the calipers.How did you do that was it some special paint?

Beautiful! Excellent work throughout.

Steve, I painted those parts with a spray paint made by Plisti-Kote, it's called Rebuilders Cast Finish #285 Cast Gray. Sprayed from the can, it does leave a little bit of texture to the part to give it a cast look.

Thanks for the comments guys...

That's a really nice job!
