Italeri 1/9 Triumph 3HW

January 6, 2025 · in Automotive · · 20 · 153

  1. You’ve done a brilliant job with this, Kevin, but please don’t leave it in “uncategorized”, it must be in motorcycles.

  2. Looks great, Kevin. Maximum degree of realism.

  3. Very, VERY NICE and very realistic. The weathering is just right. I built their 1/9 H-D WLA a while back. Those kits are so realistic and well designed. A pleasure to build.

  4. That's beautiful work, Kevin! 🤩 It does look quite realistic; since it's a Triumph, a small pool of oil beneath the bike might be appropriate, too. 😉 😁

  5. Great looking build, Kevin

  6. Awesome job and super result, Kevin!

  7. A very realistic-looking result.

  8. These could pass for photos of an actual bike. Extremely realistic.

  9. That's a wonderful result, Kevin @kevinrowbotham
    You kept the weathering to a perfect level giving it a very realistic look.

  10. Super gebaut einfach Genial.

  11. Thanks very much for your comment Hans, much appreciated!
