Paul Johnston
Adell, Wisconsin
The 1984 Honda NSR500 was a test bike with the exhaust on top, where the fuel tank usually sits, and the fuel tank under the engine. Paul built his model from a Tamiya 1/12 scale kit and used aftermarket decals for the tire logos and drilled out the brake rotor lightening holes. He decanted Tamiya spray lacquers and airbrushed all of the red and blue sections, separating them with a decal for the white stripe. He also painted the yellow square on the nose.
