Wow, that looks really detailed - what scale is it?

I used to do loads of models and Airfix kits as a kid. I'd make anything - birds to cars to planes. Then Dad let me make the stuff for his model railway as it was sometimes too fiddly for him.

Cor, that takes me back. Just the fun of building them, paining them and then ignoring them as you move onto the next model.

So - planning any modifications from stock?

Hmmm, I wonder if they do a SV model and then I can have a go at putting a Gixxer front end on it!

Very nice - looks like you have made a nice job of it

I used to do Warhammer 40K minitures (I'd occassionally play the game, but I was more into the minitures), I've been meaning to get some bike airfix kits. Could be fun streetfightering a sportsbike kit and changing the paint accordingly

If there was an SV kit, I'd have it like a shot... I'd have to make a repliac of my bike of course

You'd have to make a new bike every second week...

Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh!

GSX750 Pop up?

A vile desecration of the name.

Desist forthwith.

PS. In answer to K I think that's the Tamiya kit at 1/12th scale.
