Superb! Very nice build. Like I have said before, I have built 4 Tamiya bikes and all of them are excellent models. I am currently working the Honda CBR1000 FireBlade. I'll post pics when I am finished. Maybe I can get close to PM's standard super clean build.

I am glad to see you build a bike Pantherman. Anything you build is wonderful to see. I look forward to see the finished product. I am currently working on a Tamiya Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP. Motorcycles have become my favorite subject to build.

I have built 4 Tamiya 1/12 scale motorcycles. They are my favorite subject to build. The kits are amazing. I have only seen one 1/6 scale bike on their Tamiya USA website. The Honda CRF1000L African Twin. It is quite pricy and way out of my price range. They do have a good selection of...

Wow! That is an insane amount of detail. I don't know if I could get through a kit that detailed. I must say I am very impressed with your patience and tenacity in that build. I would have been frustrated trying to get it all together and making it look as good as you have.

Welcome to the forum. I can attest to Tamiya's motorcycle line. I am on my 5th bike build. All are 1/12 scale. You will definitely like them. I can't afford a 1/6th kit, although I would love to build one. I am looking forward to many pics of the bike build in progress.

Looks excellent! Very Nice Build!

You did a crazy excellent job on the instrument panels. I don't think I could do all those individual tiny decals. I think it looks great!

Looking really good. Amazing job on the home made seat! It looks like it came with the kit.

Your work is always so clean and impeccable. As always, I am impressed!

That is very impressive! Don't think I would have the patience to do that.

Who is going to really notice that? I had to look twice myself just to see what you were talking about. I think it is fine. Looks good to me!

Very nice build! Really impressed with the front canopy. I don't think I could have done that as clean as you did.

The thing about it is that most people looking at the P.34 would never notice the mesh was on the wrong way around. There are purists out there who would call out the wrong shade of colors used, etc. I never worry about such things. I don't build to please other people, I build to satisfy...

By cleaning the parts, I did not mean actual washing them. I have never done that. I meant after clipping the part off the sprue, sanding or filing the leftover nub or mark on the part. When it is a really small part or fragile part, it is a difficult process. Thanks for the positive remarks!

TimM63 and Jim62, Thanks for the positive comments! I appreciate them!

Yea I probably should do a flat or matte clear coat, but probably won't. Lol

By "cleaning the parts" I meant when I clip it off the sprue, I file off any leftover nub on the part. I do not clean as in wash the parts. Never have.

If we all had the same opinion, it would be a very boring world for sure. I build straight of the box. I do not buy extras to replace parts that came in the box because I am on a fixed income. I do not model all the time as I have other interests and hobbies. So modeling is a part time thing for...

Thanks all for looking and for the compliments!

Yes it was that kit. I picked it for several reasons. My 7 yr old grandson wanted me to build it, I wanted a Sherman to remind me of the movie "Fury" (one of the best WWII movies ever), and it had rubber band treads. It seemed like it was a bit over-engineered a bit, but it turned out ok. Back...
