Honda CBR 1000 RR-R Fireblade SP

August 2, 2023 · in Automotive · · 19 · 287

Was going to steal stuff about this bike off the web bit @chinesegeorge George pretty much said it already in his recent headline post about his .

I choose to go with the Matte Pearl Morion Black finish. Painted with 's Metallic Black Spray TS-40.

I added the Tamiya Detail-up fork set

and the Falcon resin chain from Poland (very nice reproducing), my first try with this part and its very fragile!

My favorite part was the front fender painted with Tamiya Gloss Black Spray can

. What appears to be dust is actually reflections of the trees 🙂

A little bit of Tilt Shift work on this photo 🙂

It was a great build I highly recommend this kit to anyone interested in kits, it's also one of Tamiya's newest kits. It was interesting to see how they have progressed as a company over the decades.

The Metallic Black is a fantastic color and the decals offered a very subtle touch to the over all finish.

Thanks for viewing, you can see more of my bikes on the motorcycle group, Cricket AKA @bikequeen 🙂
