I was going to get a couple of bikes I’ve owned in scale model form, but i’ve no idea where to shop for them.
I’m specifically after a red and black VFR400R and my ZX7R Ninja. I’ve found some but they don’t look that decent in quality.

Cheers Thumbs Up

Can't find either in Tamiya or Minichamps. Although Tamiya do a VFR750....

There was once a fortnightly mag collection that came with a maitso bike in each issue.

I had around 40 of the things but they ended up left in a loft in Cornwall when I left. Shame really because I had some great models including the NR750.

Got a quite small (1:18 I think?) that I got from Woolworths years ago. It's missing the handlebars though. Sad

Laughing Was just thinking that!

Actually I think it might be a 250. Reason why I thought it was a 125 was because it has a drum on the back. But it has twin discs on the front. Also the fairing looks pretty much identical to an old Derbi, and it's got a single headlight. Anyone got any ideas?
