Triumph Tiger 100
Triumph Tiger 100 1/8 scale. Revell German reissue, this one is a trip for anyone who built the original back in the ‘70s. The major gripe here, as with most products by this brand, is the chrome. Be prepared to vacuum up flakes of the stuff as you scrape areas of plated surfaces in preparation for gluing. It detracts from an otherwise appealing build with a precision level not as good as Tamiya but still producing a nice finished product. Wire spoke wheels added for realism and seat springs fabricated from telephone wire that was stripped and wound around a pencil for shape. Tamiya masking tape to cover the pipes and tanks sides is recommended to prevent the marring of chrome by skin oil, glue and handling.
