Gordon Sørensen
Great looking NSR, Thomas! Just need some tire warmers and she looks ready to race!

Daniel Phelps
Thank you for the inspiration i pulled mine out of my stash and i'll get to finishing it i'm about 1/2 done

Vincent Heemskerk
Nice! May I ask what size needle you use in your airbrush for motorcycle painting? I am thinking of buying an airbrush and wonder what the best needle size is for such small kits. Love the display stand, by the way.

Thomas Benzinger
Please don't laugh Vincent Heemskerk! I'm working with Tamiya Spray Cans......and small pieces were painted by hand with brush! Also Tamiya colours!

Vincent Heemskerk
Believe me, I'm not laughing. Mouth hanging open, though... If you can do that with spray cans, just imagine what you are capable of with a precision instrument. I'm painting with brushes and am enjoying it, but am itching for an airbrush. The ol' wallet is not itching, though 🙁

Well done Thomas 👍

vincent, if i may give you a suggestion, harder & steenbeck Infinity with two needles and nozzels is a really good option. if you go to Almere Airbrush Services and try it there before buying (it is what i did 😉 )

Peter Hardy
Absolutely beautiful Thomas! The bike not you!! Did you paint the fairing or was it clean enough not to? Frame is beautifully painted. Nice addition to the collection, well done.

Thomas Benzinger
Thank you, Peter! Fairing is painted 2 layers of Tamiya TS26 , 1 layer Clearcoat Tamiya TS 13, decals and after this another layer of TS 13 I always paint my kits, even when the plastic is molded in the right colour! Unpainted it will always look like plaatic......painted it will look like the real thing!
