TAMIYA 1/12 YAMAHA VIRAGO XV1000.
This is my take on Tamiya's Yamaha XV1000...
Built from the box except that I removed the fake chrome plating and used Alclad for all the metal bits.
I decided to paint it in a custom "retro" style scheme with Tamiya's Pearl Clear overall to give it a metal flake look.

Just copy and paste what I said for you xv1600. You even impressed my wife who doesn't give a rat's behind about models.

Amazing work Steve - redoing the chrome has paid off really well - I'm in the process of building my Virago and didn't have a decent chrome paint so had to use the kit Chrome but yours looks so good.
Love the blue colour as well - very nicely done.
