the tamiya motor racing figures were re-released,so i thought i would do an Eddie Lawson start rider figure,the kit is based on the great Freddie Spencer,so that would mean that the crash helmet would be wrong for Eddie Lawson,so with the figures being so cheap i got the straight run rider figure and used that crash helmet,everything has had 2 coats of tamiya fine surface primer,and 3 coats of tamiya acrylic paint,this figure conversion is going to get expensive,as the figure i am doing is aView attachment 120594
