Call out to any motorcycle modelers.

Postby Splitpin » Sat Oct 26, 2024 3:48 pm

I recently purchased online a Tamiya 1/6 scale Honda CB-750F for a song ... hard to find these days. Many moons ago I owned a real 750K, a beautiful machine.

Anyway, the seller obviously didn't do any pricing research, she had it listed for $20.00! . So I went to pick it up....to cut a long story down a bit, it turned out her husband had done a runner with someone half his age etc etc.
I told her she was really under selling this and could get some good coin for it , and offered to give it back..(Hoping She would say no)
She said that she knew she could get 5 or 6 times more for it, but after declining her husbands request to retrieve his stuff from the house (what a cheeky b*****d), she told him it was all for sale, and selling fast.
So...I got the big model, but she insisted I take 2 others for free....this is where you come in. I'm offering those two for what I paid ...nothing...to whoever can give them a good home.

They are 1/12 scale Tamiya kits, as new , boxes in good condition, bags unopened , One is a Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP 3Oth anniversary model, and the other , also 1/12, is a Honda VFR750R (Water-cooled V4)
I'll only post within NZ, or they can be picked up....Pm me if you or someone you know might like them.

Doug, Adam ...if this post needs to be moved, just do it...only put it here because the market place thread doesn't get much attention.

Both fabulous machines, have ridden one of each model IRL. Not a modeller tho but it's a generous offer Marty hope someone takes you up on it

Thanks deeknow ....I'll give it a few days, and if nothing happens I'll break open the bags and just build the engines, which is pretty much what I plan for the big 1/6 scale one.
Would be great if Tamiya would re release their engine models for these bikes... they are around on E-Bay etc, but for insane prices .
