TAMIYA 1/12 HONDA RC166 and motorcycle garage

I have made a motorcycle model with MM1/35, but this is the first time to make a fullfledged motorcycle model.
The reason why I made a model of a motorcycle was a single photo.
This is a photo of a motorcycle garage posted by a Ukrainian friend on Instagram.
It was an old BMW in the picture, but I was looking for materials to make it with Harley or Triumph, but there was none, so I chose RC166 this time.
Next time I would like to make it with a British motorcycle.

*About the kit
Tamiya's RC166 is a very nice kit. I was lucky that this kit was my first motorcycle plastic model.
I purchased a fork and clutch as an option.
Since the hose is thick, I changed it to 6mm and added a carburetor linkage.
However, I wonder why Phillips screws are used even though it is so realistic.

*painting and assembly
Painted like a cafe racer.
It is a situation where a private racer maintains an old motorcycle and faces a race.

*garage
The floor, workbench, tool box, storage box, cowling stand, oil pan, etc. are made of plastic plates, plastic rods, and brass plates.
Other accessories use miniature parts.
1/12 size is the standard size for dollhouses, so there are plenty of miniature parts.

The 1/12 scale motorcycle model is compact even if I make a garage. I'm thinking of making a model of this scale motorcycle together with the garage.

Next we will make the Volkswagen Beetle that appears in the movie.

See you Again!
Thank you my friend!
