Steve, I have a Tempest from Eduard to build, so I'll be following that one closely. Mine's the 1/72 Airfix kit, I kicked it off in the Classic GB a few days back. Not sure it'll be much use but I'd be glad of the company matey B)

Not a new build but a renovation. Some might remember this from 2012 when I first built it and in the intervening 11 years the Humbrol varnish had slight yellowed and the silver paint in the headlight and dulled. I wanted to save it as I had the RD80LC when I was 17 so it's 'my' bike. Mine actually had a fairing and belly pan but the version of that kit is long out of production. Very gently sanded the varnish back and recoated with Tamiya gloss clear. Redid the headlight with silver foil and dusted off before a bit of detail painting. Ready to go back into the cabinet for another 11 years ![](https://i.ibb.co/FKJwNQX/20231105-155539.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/jktYF1K/20231105-155619.jpg)

Love it, Steve, and great renovation! Refurbishments are fun to do and always great to give one a new lease on life and get it back on the shelf.
