WIP - Kenny Roberts Yamaha YZR500

I started this "King" Kenny Roberts racebike a while back and the project stalled for various reasons, but I've finally had a chance to get back to the bench, and it looks like I might finish up my 2nd project in 2 years this weekend.







I love the maze of pipes on this 2-stroke.

Re: WIP - Kenny Roberts Yamaha YZR500

On the body I used Tamiya Chrome Yellow, Pure White, and Semigloss Black. Wheels were Tamiya Gold from the can. No clear on this one.

The engine was a mix of metallics, and a wash of Tamiya Smoke.
