Again Ulf, excellent, a 1st class build... Looking at it, I was intrigued with your method of replicating the water droplets on the seat...

Nosey bugger ain't I (((😄 ))) Lol!!!

No Ulf if you go to Pic 11 you'll see looking down on the seat, there are water droplets on it and the rear mudguard, I wondered what you used to make the water droplets???

With this bike Heinz Kinigadner, the living legend of the offroad motorcycle world, won the 250cc world cup in a sensational way in the same year.
Tamiya brought this bike in the late 80s as a 1:12 kit. There were kits with driver figure and without. I bought one with driver that time but didn't make use of it.
First I just assembled the model, painted it with Humbrol enamels and put it as a brand new piece on the jacking stand out of the box and placed it on my shelf.
There the model slept many years before in 2011 I had the idea to present it on the washing site after a hard offroad ride. Offroad drivers know the problem: you spend as
