I've got 3 or 4 Tamiya 1/12 Ducati kits in my latest stash with two built in the sideways pic I posted .... the Fogarty # 1 Duc Superbike in that pic is actually a Minichamps metal model I bought from Ebay because I wanted to see what they were like (they are expensive) but it is very nice indeed, would not mind a couple of other Minichamp die cast Bikes like the 86 GSXR750 that's coming out (owned a real one of those too) and Honda CBX1000 six, you cant get construction kits of certain bikes and Minichamps can fill the gap, they do nice F1 car stuff too apparently.
Nothing new to show scale model wise but have made good progress on my 1/6 Suzuki Katana and CB1100R kits lately, Hope to finish the 1/32 Hawk and Lightning soon too.
PS: Just wanted to say, building the two Tamiya 1/6 Bike kits side by side is a real pleasure, they are actually quite old kits and some of the newer Tamiya kits of all genres is absolutely stunning engineering, but these two bikes in 1/6 ... the real thing is just 6 times bigger are just a joy to build, they go together pretty much like the real thing did too construction and assembly wise for parts, once I finish these I'm going to get the Tamiya 1/6 Kawasaki Z1300 six too, nought else in the 1/6 Tamiya Motorcycle range takes my fancy ... I wish they would do another bike in this scale again with their newer hi finesse moulding style ... imagine a new tooled Tamiya 1/6 Rossi GP12 Ducati (yeh I know he's not doing too well on it) or Lorenzo/Spies M1 in this scale, or even some of the great street bikes we have now like a Ducati Diaval ... I can dream :) |
