looks nice.

Thomas, apart from the very thick wheel spokes the kit looks good to work with. Lovely clean build. Congratulations, beautiful Mate! Been doing a bit of shopping too? I've been after the Wayne Gardener Honda for a while.

Wayne Gardner Honda? Which one?

Peter Hardy
Honda 87, in Rothmans livery. WC that year. Tamiya did a version. I have seen a few around but because he is Australian they are rare and stupidly expensive here. I will get one for a fair price eventually, I hung out for months for a Kawasaki KR 500 but ended up with three. 2 from Japan and one from Canada. All under $70A. Saw them on eBay for over $200 while I was waiting.

You mean Tamiya 14055 i guess! For this i'm looking top for a long time ! Bought now an example of Hasegawa looking for correct livery, seems easier! The KR500 is normally no problem to get !

Peter Hardy
Best I can do is a 1986 Rothmans.

Spanjaard
That is a nice one Peter 😉

Peter Hardy
No models available of early to mid 90s race 500s. Damn! I'd love to build a Darryl Beattie bike, he rode a Honda in 93, a Yamaha in 94 and a Suzuki in 95. Can't get any of them!

Peter Hardy,you told me,you're looking for Wayne Gardners '86 Rothmans NSR
I think this is it, or am I wrong?

Peter Hardy
Yes, that is his 86 bike. I was off subject and thinking of Darryl Beattie's mount. Thank you Thomas. I apologise profusely for my stupidity.

Peter Hardy
And bought!
