I agree John, Tamiya make some absolutely superb models, and some of them cost outrageous sums of money. Way back I built on of those 1/6th scale bikes for a friends son, who rode for team Honda. They provided the kit, and custom mixed paints, and decals... Took me 4 months working 10 to 12 hrs a weekend. It was a CBR 1100 Superbike. The kid rode 2 seasons, then fell off in a turn, and quit.
