| 1:24 scale Racing Motorcycles For the 2014 Daytona 24 hour build, I decided to tackle the project to finish 4 1:24 scale MotoGP racing motorcycles. Some body clean up work had been done prior to the build weekend. I ended up with a terrible head cold and only built for about 7 hours before I gave up and went to bed. If I get one more racing model in this scale, I will have enough to enter into a collection category at one of the model shows. In August, 2014, I finished an additional fifth model to complete the collection. Base Kit(s): Airfix racing motorcycles (kit number 96499 - 3 models, plus paint) Hasegawa Honda NSR500 1997 (kit number GP3:1500) Heller Ducati Desmosedici (kit number 80926) Finished: Feb 2014 and Aug 2014 Modifications/Additions: - built out of the box - ScaleMotorsports carbon fibre decals used on all exhaust mufflers and rear fenders - Alclad metallics on frames and forks. - bodywork paint was some from the Airfix kit as well as Tamiya acrylics - Krylon clear acrylic was used and reacted with some of the paint (especially the red on the Yamaha) Click on Thumbnail to see detailed image.
