The long awaited (by me anyway) Tamiya 1/6th KZ 1300 B Touring has begun. I have been watching this kit for about a year now but it was crazy expensive and the tires were in bad shape. I found one in the states and grabbed it, although still not inexpensive i like it 🙂

I searched for the proper color and with the help of some of you i opted for the Tamiya Maroon TS-11

Pics included are it’s sister bike the Z1300 which I built about a year ago

Stayed tuned for updates. I am going to work on the cowlings and body parts first and hope the decals are in good shape for this 41 year old kit 🙂

Instructions are in Japanese and my phone translator is having a loads of fun with that :). Luckily I still have the instructions from the other bike and all I need to decode are the cowlings 🙂

Stayed tuned to this Bat Channel for updates ; )

Excellent start, my friend @bikeqieen!
The sister Z looks awesome!

@fiveten Thanks Spiros! Got all the cowlings and stuff painted, will resist temptation and let them dry really well before I decal them 🙂

@johnb HA! Thanks John! But u have taken away the fun of the translator…LOL

This is AWESOME! Thank you!

@gblair back in my model days I dont have Hasegawa or Tamiya. I was stuck with Revell, AMT, etc etc and I didn’t paint any of them. And I used the tube glue that was put in lead tubes 🙂 I was a big fan of Ed Roth’s monster cars :). I guess that dates me 😉

@gblair are you sure you’re not thinking of Dave Deal George?

Hi Cricket @bikequeen, great start to this 1/6 Kawasaki, the colour looks great, goos idea to let the paint really cure before doing any more work on it.

Very nice choice. Too bad the fairing hides this awesome engine. The painting was excellent and the color matched perfectly.
