MyAlbumHonda RC166

Box art  

After you cut away all the flash and spru parts your left with these components i have stripped of the origional plating  

Partial assembly these all fit very well indeed  

Glued and clamped  

Final result before painting (its ordered and coming from spain)  

Frame and fairing support it looks quite flimsy but will see how it stands up to the build  

Engine cylinder is made up of individule parts and these go together very well 

Bottom of cylinder  

Carbs again went together well. Clips were a joy to paint!! 

Carbs with detail up bell mouths fitted these are a nice touch. 

Cylinderhead and top of gearbox  

Engine almost complete just the plugs to fit detail up clutch also in the kit looks great as well  

 

Frame now freshly painted with rubber mounts for the seat and tank fitted along with 3 coils for the big 6 cylinder engine  

Frame 

Frame and engine 

Were im at  

Unfortunately i mistakenly painted the engine the wrong colour!! There is a mistake in the assembly instructions and to be fair a rectification note in the packaging despite crossing out the error i still managed to mix the paint wrong!! ?? 

So after the paint issue i stripped it all and repainted the right colours ? 

Now back on track with the build engine swinging arm and rear wheel assembled and in the frame ? 

Rear end  

Rh side  

Lots of tubing  

Exhaust and fork stantions in the booth  

Top tubes are DP’s and look very nice in deed  

However fitting the cir-clip is challenging & @ about 2mm in diameter very hard to find when it pings off ?? 

 

forks and exhaust fitted (forks are temporary they need to come off to put the fairing on)  

Steering damper  

Oil filled pipe work used clear yellow for it took a bit of sucking!!! 

Tank and seat painted 

Fairing and mud gaurd painted 

Few other bits almost there with this build  

Fairing fitted last couple of decals to fit 

 

 

 

 

In fills panels in place  

 

Magnets in place for the in fill panels on the fairing  

 

Ready for final assembly  

Front end and faing infinal possition  

In the cabinet 

All done just the 16 to add on the front once the white panel settles down  

Good kit a bit fiddly with fat fingers bit looks nice once completed

Ready steady go…..
