...............This big has been a thorn in my side for nearly 2 years now, but it's finally complete!

Revell Suzuki RG500 (Old Matchbox kit) with lots of extra detailing including wiring and Machined parts, I would never build one of these again and I certainly don't recommend anyone else giving it a go bricks ......It also didn't help that I was building it for someone else and not my own enjoyment doh

Beautiful job Paul, have looked at this kit a number of times but it's always been too dear, maybe a good one not to get, glad you stuck at this one though.

That is a good result from a terrible kit Paul, well done. bigthumbsup

Kirk,I built this kit around 1980, would have been the 1st or 2nd release. Not a good kit to buy if you're not prepared to put in a lot of correction work. thumbsdown
