Tamiya Yamaha XV1000 Virago - Part 4 Final (for the Chris Chapman celebration of life group build).

This is a nice kit to build, although the decals were very brittle. Thanks to Thomas at "Building on a Budget Models". I used his build video of the Virago kit as a reference for my build. Here's a link to that video:

    Wow, the rider really makes the bike come alive. You did a perfect factory color too! Excellent job.

    Except for the decals it was a good build. 😀 There are few build videos on KZread that I checked out before doing mine.

    Thanks Peter, this kit came to mind as soon as I'd heard of his passing.

    Great job on the bike and the rider! I just finished the bike, and mine didn't have the forward foot pegs - very cool. And I couldn't get that kickstand to work/stay. Really nice work! 👍👍

    Thanks John, I just checked out your video, I used the main kickstand and glued it in place to hold the bike upright with the rider on it. The forward footpegs came included with the rider figure and the baggage.
