Title: Motorcycle Models for 2011 Post by: orangelion03 on February 16, 2011, 12:30:51 PM These releases were announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair last week. Various moto models in 1/12 scale from Tamiya, Hasegawa, and Fujimi. Rumor has it that the Fujimi Super Cub is the first of a series of vintage Hondas, or possibly vintage Japanese bikes in general.
To get an idea of what is currently available in this scale, check out Hobby Link Japan's site: http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?rel=nav&GenreCode=Aut&DisplayMode=images&Dis=2&Sort=std&qid=MEMNZZSYBLUMA&MacroType2=autmot&z=MacroType2&Scale2=12 (http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?rel=nav&GenreCode=Aut&DisplayMode=images&Dis=2&Sort=std&qid=MEMNZZSYBLUMA&MacroType2=autmot&z=MacroType2&Scale2=12) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/orangelion03/Nuernberg2011_AE_Tamiya_30.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/orangelion03/Nuernberg2011_AE_Tamiya_26.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/orangelion03/Nuernberg2011_AE_Tamiya_28.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/orangelion03/Nuernberg2011_AE_Tamiya_31.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/orangelion03/Nuernberg2011_AE_Hasegawa_02.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/orangelion03/Nuernberg2011_AE_Hasegawa_03.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/orangelion03/Fujimi_0101.jpg) Title: Re: Motorcycle Models for 2011 Post by: zarn02 on February 16, 2011, 12:50:21 PM Neato.

I have their 916 model from a few years back. Haven't built it yet because I'm confident I'll dick it up. [laugh] (Who has two thumbs and needs modelling practice? This guy...)

Title: Re: Motorcycle Models for 2011 Post by: pennyrobber on February 16, 2011, 01:55:23 PM So where are the motorcycle models? I didn't see a single umbrella girl in any of the photos. ;)
These things are crazy. The detail is pretty amazing.

No way anyone would be painting that, it would have to be a decal.

On the bright side, the Pedrosa model is life-sized. Title: Re: Motorcycle Models for 2011 Post by: Witty Name Here on February 19, 2011, 08:33:43 PM Check the detail on these. Click the pic's.

Title: Re: Motorcycle Models for 2011 Post by: eyduc on February 20, 2011, 05:54:52 PM I have a few Tamiya Honda & Ducati kits. I got some of them when I visited Japan. They cost half the price over here. Still looking to get a good deal on a Desmosidici kit. I'm saving them for when I retire (ie; too weak to ride). [laugh]
