kpnuts Posted May 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 9, 2020 Hi all I built this twice (I really love the tamiya big bike kits) my second build of it was stolen and posted on Instagram as being theirs by someone called bright logic (not very bright or logical since I had all the original pics and the actual model, they were made to take the post down, full credit to instagram) Anyway here is the first build of this amazing kit (before anyone says anything I know this was only available in the uk in silver but everyone who knows me by now knows I hardly ever do as per the box or true life) Old Collingwood, Landlubber Mike, Edwardkenway and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
