Kawasaki Z750 ZII by Aoshima 1/12 scale
interesting kit
Aoshima make a kit which can be marketed as the 750 and the 900
they make an updated one simply by adding another sprue to the box
they then do a 'custom' one simply by adding another sprue
they then do this version from a Japanese anime by simply adding another couple of sprues
so what you end up with is a box full of sprues!!!......with lots and lots of surplus parts that can be swopped about
from what i can see theres 2 x sets of wheels, 2 seats, 2 x sets of forks, 2 x sets of brake discs and suspension and even carbs, at least 5 x handlebars from pullbacks to stock to straight to drops, 3 x front fenders and 2 x rears, 2 x silencer set ups, plus all sorts of different covers for the engine
my plan is to do a sort of restomod style cafe racer like on the box but not with the Bosozoku silencer but i do like the can so it might get cut and shut to something more normal
the one good thing.....no chrome sprue!......so no need to strip it in the first place lol
no idea as to the colour, i hope ive got some Kawasaki green cos that would look nice, failing that im going to have to look up what colours they did come in back in the day......certainly is not going to be brown like on the box!! (which was a standard colour as i remember)
