Honda RC166: Complete (#29 for 2020)

What a lovely kit. And while it might be 1/12 scale, there is a very large number of very small bits that would be moulded into larger parts at 1/24. 




After a lot of thought I decided to leave the fairing off as it will hide the mechanicals. The bike was raced with the fairing, of course, and looks good with it on, so I include a picture of the bike with the fairing in place. (Once installed, it can't really be removed, so it's on or off.)



So there are a couple of other 1/12 kits in the stash, including a pair of the Italeri Italian GP cars from the 20's and 30's. But maybe it's time to get back to 1/24, especially since I have agreed to a quick build on one of the Facebook groups that leaves 10 days from December 23 to January 3 to complete. 

So stay tuned, I might even manage 30 builds in this pandemic year.
