From what I have heard and read these new Hasegawa & Fujimi motorcycle kits are on a par with or as good as the Tamiya kits even down to Tamiya's exorbitant pricing policy!!!

[modelrabbitt]

news!
chassis and engine assembled.i used only alclad colours

[modelrabbitt]

the work is a little slow because of the short time available but i think to be in good point x with respect to the mechanical part. I must add a few here and there cables, brake and foot post. then I will spend and finally discharges to fairings. -Front: I painted with aluminium forks and I lined the stems with sticky tape. the discs are photo-engravings of kit and as you know are not good because they do not have the transverse flutes but in fact, I leave them like that, did not do worse gas commands I left with the addition of heat-shrink sleeve. -Back: I deleted the original chain tightener and I put a kawa 2006 moto gp, look like her. I completed with nuts prevent tuner model very realistic (and believe us x what cost ...). In short, we're almost to the point of arrival x any Chapel made this far, don't hesitate to let me out, thanks.
