Yamaha XJR400, Aoshima 1/12 scale

so since im having this ongoing loss of confidence i want to do something to try and restore it a little...........something with simple painting and no weathering lol



had this in the stash for about 2 years and its pretty straight forward



comes with two sprues of 'chrome'....one is shiney for the exhaust and a few little bits......the other is a matt chrome for things like the discs and forks etc



not too impressed with the shiney one so the zorst might just go matt black

A nice little project. Looking forward to seeing it.

And if your confidence returns soon, you can always 'mud it up' a bit.

Looks like a nice kit, how does it compare to a tamiya kit

Aoshima are always a little more 'fragile' or more fiddly than Tamiya.......sometimes the chrome isnt all that good........but they do some really interesting kits, ....if Tamiya was a 10 then Aoshima would be a 9

Sounds good will have to look at some of their bike kits.
