I made these two in 1977 in the days when Shene and Roberts were duelling in the Transatlantic trophy. Great models in thier time and still hold thier own today. Apologies for the rubbish pictures. I always wanted to have a go at the Marlboro Orange bike as well but never got around to it.

I built those when I was an apprentice, an embarrassingly long time ago now. I'm sure you will make a better job with your YZR!

That bike's really coming together. The Marlboro red really does pop against the white and makes a really attractive scheme. Kenny himself looks really great and will really finish this build off.


Looking forward to the next instalment.


Cheers
