Glad to see you building something other than armor. It shows off your skills and great to see you mix it up once in a while.

[@vincentlussier8264]

Andy, for a guy who's mainly armor and dio builds, your Honda Fireblade turned out just jaw dropping to say the least. I'm getting one too since I recently got into Tamiya bikes as they are fabulous kits even straight from the box. I know you get a lot of requests but I think you should do a little more models with shiny paint jobs and sporty wheels.

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

Just built the Revell 1/72 Bf-109 today, and will build the Revell 1/72 Fw-190 tomorrow.

[@jonoedwards4195]

My two WW11 Favourites, the landing gear snap off the Scale models as easy as the real Planes gear did!

[@soerenfeddersen3560]

Nice to have you well and alive andback in your shop, doing tanks. I still remember your build vids when I restarted modelling. It was about the time you were shooting the Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV and the Vallejo scenic weathering products reviews with all the mud and splashes prdoducts. Still like all you doing. Keep it up and stay well.

[@jonoedwards4195]

Awesome, I remember the job You did on the Ducati too. Tamiya Bike kits have been perfect for decades. Great show AHH, You really know how to sell an item, Unreal!

[@CurvedSlightly]

The lacquers don't need surfaces priming due to the solvent contained in the paint and thinners, this cleans, degreases and bonds to the surface similar to the cements. Priming is really for the acrylics or if the surface isn't quite smooth.

[@MitchellGardnerAngryMonkey]

Excellent work, Andy ! It's a beautiful model and I can't wait till the real thing shows up at the Honda dealership, 'cause I'm going riding !

[@MisterHampshire]

I'm in the UK and dipped my toes into using Tamiya lacquer paints late last/early this year. I was sceptical, but after experimenting with them, wow what a revelation. Yes - in my opinion - they need airbrushing (after being thinned well) as they don't lend themselves to brush panting (other than picking out details say) and the colour range is limited, but I am sold on them. The colours I have so far used are beautiful paints, they go down well (airbrush don't forget) and dry rapidly, even with the retarder thinner, and dry smooth. The Sparkling Silver in my opinion comes out almost as a metal finish, although perhaps for an all-over metal effect 'metal' paints would still be best, although are fragile and susceptible to damage. I won't stop using other paints but will certainly use Tamiya lacquers are now part of my paint ranges.

[@BlackPete...]

I love watching modelling videos that aren't asmr. Thanks. Asmr videos are creepy...

[@stephenharrington528]

Tamiya have done a fantastic job with this model and you have done a fantastic work on this one Andy superb Steve 🇬🇧

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Turned out great!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to have to do a bike on my channel after seeing this.

[@jerryplews1023]

Excellent build as always. I love the detail Tamiya put into it....an internal thread for the swing arm..amazing.

[@les3d50]

Looks like I could get on it and ride away, great job Andy, thanks

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

Sweet! I'm currently building Tamiya's Yamaha XV1600

[@jonoedwards4195]

Road Star, Hahaha, the ground rumbles from those Beasts.

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

@@jonoedwards4195 Yes! I had a 650 Vstar for a few years, that bike was bullet proof.

[@davidcole333]

That looks like it's extremely fiddly, but wow what a result!

[@robertriley4689]

Nice build review Andy. I’ve currently got a copy of this Fireblade to which I’m 3/4 the way through building and it is indeed a lovely kit.

[@ferbieticklater7429]

That is a really good and accurate design by Tamiya. Beautifully detailed and intricate. Excellent work. Well done Andy on presenting this kit so well!

[@oldtown6240]

Nicely done. Looking forward to a tutorial on LP Paints: airbrushing, hand brushing, thinning, etc.

[@zonegamma8197]

I would appreciate a tutorial I want to try them

[@doublenickelbob]

Great vid Andy. I'd like to see more motorcycle and railroad builds.

[@1972tcdm]

great video, love your channel. The only thing I will complain about, is the amount of comercials I had to go through to see your build from the begining to the end.

[@farkastamas1982]

thats a kit for a higher skill level than what i have, still loved to see how it came together. great looking beast thats for sure.

[@leebarlow3911]

They build up really good a beginner can do it mate

[@br218fan4]

Hallo Andy Vielen lieben Dank für dein Video. Habe sie mir auch zugelegt. Super Motorrad. Hast du gut gezeigt. MfG Reinhard

[@PAARYNAKAKKU-ic3td]

I WISHD ID HAD BIKE LIKE THAT AND AS SCALEMODEL

[@sgtkhaos1078]

I personally wont work on this kit until the detail kit releases. Ive pre-ordered the Main kit and the Fork kit, now ill wait until the super detail up kit :)

[@richardpacheco6341]

That's a good looking kit, I'll have to give that one a shot. Thanks for the information on the Lacquer paint. Glad I had the opportunity to stop in Tx is a long drive.

[@Steve-dr7rr]

Fantastic build Andy enjoyed every second 👍🏻👍🏻

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Very nice kit it's on my to get list i just got mustang GT4 2day came in my local hobby shop in Ireland 👍

[@RCUKScaleModels]

pretty cool it looks good I think the blue is slightly too dark

[@jonoedwards4195]

I wonder if the Gods at Tamiya ever ponder the thought of aftermarket Pipes, Yoshimura an such?

[@lukealmighty8828]

Fantastic build! Those kits look like there really well made, Subed!

[@tonyw2808]

Great build - I really enjoyed watching the video. We've got an Australian manufacturer has brought out a range of lacquer acrylics - Scale Modelling Supplies (SMS). They really give a beautiful finish.

[@sammy_dog]

Andy i put down a high gloss black base before i spray any metallic paint i find you get better results but each their own i guess

[@donfrandsen7778]

Really great Andy!!! Your vids are top notch You are always doing cool projects I am a armor fan. But your keeping the hobby fresh with a motorcycle build Great work my friend Keep up the great work . What a work of art Andy So cool . And love the use of new Tamiya paints I would love to see you use new tamiya Afrika Corp colors, when you get a chance on Armor Lol Anyway Andy , as always thanks for making video builds and paints Outstanding !!!!!

[@edwardfontaine2230]

very nice please build more motorcycles thanks

[@xjr13john]

Another great motorcycle kit from Tamiya, shame they don;t do more. Yeap the new LP paints are great funny you Yanks need to have different labeling! Thanks for sharing.

[@ramanjeet1111]

hope tamia introduces interlocked parts, instead of using glue

[@alexwhitman9343]

Ah dang it was hoping it’s going to be Ducati, cheers 🍻

[@lobilly]

The lacquer metallic paint look more realistic than their acrylic counterpart?

[@ragabhajan]

Thanks so much, Andy. I appreciate your beautiful hobby! I have been looking after the Tamiya catalog, would you like to help me to find a link to it and how to buy it. I like very much their Motobikes and cars. Thank you! KEEP IT UP, BUDDY!

[@Stu-SB]

Quality vid Andy.. cheers for posting. What do you recommend as an airbrush.. as usual starting out on my first one in decades I'm starting from scratch so have to buy paint, model, brushes, thinners, adhesive etc.. gulp..a 40 bucks bike will end up costing me a few hundred. Cheers

[@adamstewart1312]

the new lacquer paints are available in the UK already.

[@huudamu1884]

I LIKED IT AND HONDA CB 1972 TOO

[@ypehille]

Great build Andy

[@reconranger1370]

It came out GREAT Andy!!

[@127TROOP]

That’s a stunning kit and build.....and those new Paints look incredible. Any chance of a tut on using them Andy?

[@louislopez55]

Funny you went to a little trouble to paint the side reflector orange. Many of us who ride motorcycles remove the reflectors as soon as we get the bike home! (Not me of course)

[@zachary-zombie]

Looks amazing! 👌

[@shannonm3841]

i wish they made more bike kits in larger scales 1/12 is too tiny for my fat fingers

[@mattomon1045]

it looks likes a great kit.

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Very nice bike

[@petebird7171]

Nice video Andy, thanks 👍👍

[@JeffreyHamlin]

Is this good for a beginner who isn't interested in armor or planes?

[@erkanyalcin7985]

I really wanna move to Arizona , we don’t have any stores like that in Boston

[@spaeron]

I of course haven't used the new line of paints but unless it's prethinned lacquer you should be able to thin any color at least 1:1

[@lousykser55555]

What drill bit size did you use for the brakes. And what was the ratio you thin your paint for handbrushing :) keep up the awesome videos

[@feeqSH]

I have a question. If I bought this, do i need to paint it my self?

[@gdmonks1959]

Did you forget to fit the rear shock reservoir from the up grade parts initially 🤔🤔🤔

[@bubbapipe]

Hey Andy, how strong is the smell of the new lacquer paints?

[@AugustusCaesar88]

It’s strongish, a strange sort of smell. It doesn’t smell anything like the other lacquer paints on the market (MRP, Mr colour, alclad etc).. they work beautifully though

[@jonoedwards4195]

If They smell half as good as their acrylic I'm all in!

[@GTiR23]

They are a weird sweet smell, but it soon clears the air once you're done spraying, they lay down beautifully.

[@doozersmodels3193]

Great looking bike

[@paulsheriff5733]

Nice one Andy 👍

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Nice build

[@modelmantstewart1292]

Great job Andy I think it's good you do something different

[@davidveros2100]

Nice kit. Is there a noticeable difference spraying lacquer?

[@johnkasza2315]

I preordered kit from you--when is the aftermarket forks arriving?

[@filipmajewski4725]

What brand is 'panel line" you use (28:25)?

[@Builtbyronny]

Great built 👍

[@stephenbobby6715]

How is the odor on the lacquer Paints?? Great video

[@outfield1988]

Hi did you paint the inside of the panels black? And what clear did you use on the body thanks

[@RestorationAustralia]

Nice job thumbs up

[@JonathanOlarte]

No priming needed?

[@marcoarvelos8608]

What is diference between the LP and the acrilic paints? Thank you

[@christianszilagyi2146]

Wow this is CBR look like 2020 new modell. I have right?

[@NIEPCUmodels]

Did you dilute something before painting with airbrush or are LP series paints ready for airbrush?

[@kshatriya1414]

I hope you don’t mess up the paint scheme again, Although last time it actually came out better than the original in my opinion so it might not be too bad if you did haha!.

[@michaelmcneive8182]

Do you use primer!

[@ducanhnguyen7854]

Hello admin and everyone. Can you assemble the Ducati Diavel 1260s model? Thanks very much. That's my big dream.

How much thinner did you add roughly Andy thanks

[@gabrielp5011]

Now put K2SO from Rogue One on it and its perfect

[@zonegamma8197]

Wow nice paint, no primer needed ?

[@jonoedwards4195]

Primer is a Hoax, even naked metal when correctly prepped accepts modern paints with no problems Zone!

[@GTiR23]

@@jonoedwards4195 Agreed! I only use primer for body parts now, to show imperfections before base coating.

[@zonegamma8197]

@@jonoedwards4195 and I think that since the lacquers adhere more to plastic then acrylics you are sure it will be ok

So, what did you think of the new paint, Andy?😊

FYI, you always say titanium color on the engines, it’s magnesium color gold. Titanium would be too expensive to make. I own several “real” Ducati’s. Just wanted to give you an FYI, you usually only find smaller items in titanium like bolts and some exhaust.

yooo do you have an email i can direct message to preorder including the forks?
