Tamiya Yamaha R1M
I realised today I've not been on here for a while, so thought it about time I returned. Here is my latest finished built, the Tamiya Yamaha R1M that came out last year.
This started off as a basic, ‘out of the box’ build of the new kit, it turned into something more. The kit just begged for extra detail to be added and I had to oblige. For those that are interested, the WIP can be found here. I also did a full video built up on my YouTube channel.
Zero paints used pretty much throughout with my own paint job on it, finished with 2K diamond clear and polished up.
A few extra wires were added and the kit wires replaced for more accurate scaled equivalent. A bunch of Top Studio, Hobby Design and T2M nuts, bolts and PE heads were fitted throughout. Magnets replace the screws for the fairings and the rest were either covered up or replaced with aluminium tube. I got a Decalcas screen as soon as they were available so after adding a 5% tint to it, this was then fitted.
I will let the photos do the rest of the talking

Beautiful that Dallas.
I’ll go watch the wip on YouTube if I can find it and see how fiddly the fiddly bits are

My goodness, what a great model.
....I know my models wouldn’t stand such scrutiny.
