Tamiya Yamaha Beluga 80 Scooter 1/12th
I was going through some photos for my new web site while I await all my parts to come in for other projects I offer this build.
It was unique enough that I had to add it to my collection. Built in June of 2022.
It was a fun and cute little build. I painted it Tamiya French Blue and quite happy with the results.
The Yamaha web page offers this info on it
The BELUGA was developed as a full-scale scooter targeting men amid the trends of greater amounts of free time and the growing “six-wheel lifestyle” in which people used both a car and a 2-wheeler. It featured a fully covered exterior hiding the mechanical parts, spacious step-through styling, all built-in lights, a suspension with a comfortable ride, intake/exhaust systems designed for low energy consumption and low noise, and more. All its features were designed and engineered to radiate high quality.
