👍 - years and years ago I was sitting on the real thing for a test drive but wouldnt swap with my CBR900RR.
Is it really brush painted?

apart from the gun metal body panels which I did with tamiya's Ts gun metal grey rattle tin everything else is hand painted, I have just purchased an airbrush and waiting to see if santa brings me my compressor

well done I must say! Do not save on the compressor, I have bought some time ago the Revell Master Class compressor after my starter model quit service and wouldnt switch back.

Thanks very much for the compliment, santa is getting me just a cheapish as186 with tank to start me off I think it was 60 quid with two free airbrushes, I wouldn't have anything to do with revell products if i can help it

Album info

BUILD COMPLETE - the Super Blackbird, another cracking kit from Tamiya and delighted with the build, all hand painted using Tamyia Acrylics and TS Gun metal grey.

About my 4th kit build from Tamiya and one of my favourite builds so far (nice easy decals)

This kit has an RRP of around £25.00

apologies - I never caught the start of this build so were catching this build really far on.
