Yamaha YZR500 GP Motorcycle
This was the first Tamiya kit that I ever built and I'd like to think my modelling skills have improved since that time.  Some of the
decals have started to crack over time.

Base Kit(s):   Tamiya 1/12 scale 14001 Yamaha YZR500 Grand Prix Motorcycle     

Finished:        Early 1980's        

Modifications/Additions:
additional wiring for throttle control system, cockpit instruments and temperature sensor

simulated welds on exhaust pipes by using white glue
exhaust pipe expansion springs added
