Hi guys new to the forum and Vfr’s

i thought I’d build myself a RC30 tribute bike for something to do over winter

just can’t make up my mind on colour scheme what do you guys like to see

#2

Surely it's got to be the standard factory RC30 colours?

I agree. If you're gonna call it a RC30 "Replica", then it should be that basic scheme and colors.

If you're gonna call it a Factory HRC Race Bike Tribute, then go sick with something else. Take some of your favorite elements and make it yours.

And over which winter?  I feel like we're being set-up.  Your info on the left says you already have one.

Hi yes I have one that I have built over the winter that has just past I’ll check log book tomorrow 

I only just got excepted today or I would of posted sooner 

over the last couple of days I’ve completely pulled it apart and started cleaning and refurbishing and painting all the parts engine sat on a trolley ready for cleaning and painting tomorrow then it’s just down to the colour of the body work, wheels and brake callipers

basically I have a large tamiya kit being painted assembled for the last time 

( Homey I’ve expanded the kit )

I’ll get some pics of it tomorrow if the weathers ok

The bike I’ve started with
