Hi all I have to apologise to the seller it was my 10 yr old nephew he came over during the day with his mum to visit my missus and decided to have a go. That's what you get for trying to encourage youngsters. He is now banned from my model room unless I am there.

Bless him, he was trying to help...sods law it would be a kit that you really want to build and do your best on.


Nice start though Ken, love the scribing, heavy or not, very brave to attempt.

That looks good Ken, you have the finish on the sprocket and discs "spot on" ......... I love the old Jap classics. I never had a Honda 4 ....... I tooled around on a Suzuki GT750. That was a great bike. At least until the two stroke oil pump packed up:eek:
I'll be watching this

I had one of those for a while as well(One of the many bikes I've owned and either wrecked or sold on). I remember spending my redundancy money on it. Very heavy, under powered and with the same rubbish oil pump as the 750. My fiance at the time wasn't best pleased as we were supposed to be saving money to get married.

Hi Ken, So sorry to here about the frame on your kit. It seems that the whole kit is now going to be more difficult than you imagined. Having said that, looking at your latest update, you have managed to make a decent job of it and the black paint has certainly improved the look of it. Well just to cheer you up a bit, I am going to make a start on my Honda CB750 1/4 scale kit within the next day or two. It's going to be a long slow build, as I have to wait for monthly parts to arrive before I can continue with each stage. I was going to wait until I received the third pack, but I think I will make a start as soon as pack two arrives in a few days time. :D

Very good so far Ken, but you will probably have finished it before I get the next parts for my model.

Heh Ken I'm not being funny here but is there absolutely nothing your not good at. That bike looks so perfect. The paint job on the tank is awesome and so crisp, you've defo got the nack for detail.


I see the mustang in the background too ( which lets face it is getting better day by day!


How many kits you do at the same time again??


Great work and progress ( always a pleasure to see

I'm like you Ken I believe I'm not bad but I see some creations on here and think what am I doing on here at all


Any ways


1 you can call me whatever you like ( the wife does) Rob is what most call me


2 I get a lot of inspiration from this forum and I look at the builds that not only you but Si Alan Peter, Scott Monica ( and pussycats) etc and I look at the kits I've made and I'm ashamed to say it think they look very below average.


I think i have about 7 on the go at the mo, trying to finish my pair of Blackburn Roc and Skua off but I'm itching to start my 1/32 wildcat


All this car building too is making me look further a field and looking at something like a classic Jag mk2 or like ( any suggests
