400/4 model kit

(1/6) > >>

taysidedragon:
I was looking for a suitable model kit to modify into a 400/4 when I discovered a Japanese manufacturer brought out 2 models about 3 years ago, one for each  basic version. A 1974 model with footrests on swingarm and a 1976 model with frame loops.
I've bought the later one and it's good quality moulding, on a par with Tamiya models.

Made by Aoshima and available in UK from Hiroboy.com or kentmodels.co.uk

Any other modellers out there?

I bought the one with the red tank,the US version.   It was progressing well but it's been on stop for ages because I can't get the engine lined up in the frame.   I'm going to have to modify it,using some .5mm wire as the long engine mounting bolts.  My eyesight isn't as good as it was so I'm struggling a bit.  I should get off my arse and finish it.

I dont have the 400/4 kit (yet) but I did get a Tamiya 1/12 CB750 kit for Christmas, my other half admits she is encouraging my addiction :)
I havent opened up the kit yet but I know I need to get myself a few things.. glue, long tweezers and maybe even a good magnifying light (eyes are not the best for fine work) and a decent Airbrush setup.. I have other uses for the Airbrush anyway.

Where do others get their paint from? I am torn between the gold flake on the box and Candy Red... leaning slightly to Candy red really.
Now I need to go and see about ordering that 400/4 kit :)

Andych:
Pics of the box... I was wrong, it is a 1/6 size.

Wow! I swear I had that very same kit back in the very early 70’s?
