Dick on his 'New' 750K0

<< < (3/6) > >>

MrDavo:
Excellent article, I wonder if the red light that Honda Britain didn't recognise is the one between the clocks on the Japanese market versions. What does that do, tell you if you hit a speed limiter?

As a student, I built a 1:6 scale Tamiya model of the Dick Mann Daytona bike, I don't know what happened to it. I just took this pic of 2 Tamiya Hondas in 1:12 scale I built in recent years, an NS500 and an RCV, they could do with a dust, and I'll probably be judged on my taste in DVDs :) OCD and short sight helps building these, they even have painted valve caps, and are accurate where you can't see, with plug leads, painted spark plugs etc.



I have an unbuilt 1970's  1/12 scale Tamiya kit of the Honda RA273 3 litre V12 (air cooled) 1966 Grand Prix car in the attic, the moment you cut one piece of it's sprue the value has gone, and I'm put off ever starting it by the 12 plug leads, 12 fuel lines etc, all of which you have to cut to size and stick in place using tweezers.

ETA: I don't know if they still make the 1:6 scale CB750, but I just found one on eBay, an ouch! at £295.

I do get out ...only for b*ggers like Trigger to 'dis' my car when I get there  ;D ;D !

Agree really though it was a bit sad of me finding that article. I knew of its existence vaguely but actually getting a scan of the page took a bit of skullduggery as I was thrown a curved ball that it was in an Airfix magazine.

I can always find you an old scan of a 'Bunty' magazine if that's more to your'e liking Julie ...suspect not though!  :)

I think JamesH knows the seller of that kit on eBay !!

Don't take the insults about your car personally Ash, Graham just doesn't like cars !!!
Bunty, no, but I was in to Twinkle, or Sparkle or whatever it was called, It all seems a very long time ago now  :'( :'( :'( :'(
Graham has just piped up saying insulting your car is all part of the service, along with 2 cups of tea and trade prices on engineering services  ::) ::) ::)

I have a Heller 1/8th scale CB750 that I hope to build this winter, now that I've sold the business and (almost) managed to give up work. I think that it cost around £60.00 from a model shop in Norwich when I bought it a year or so ago.

I don't even want to think why Ask would have scans of 'Bunty' magazine around ....
