The saga begins...
In late 2014, Yamaha issued the second of their "Motor Sports World" dioramas featuring two motorcycles associated with the Dakar Rally: the 1995 XTZ850R and the 2014 YZ450F. Although I had had a great deal of trouble putting together the previous year's offering, the "Racing" YZR-M1 (see here), I decided to give these a try. I started with the XTZ850R way back in March 2015.
As usual I wanted my model to match all my others built at approximately 1:14, so I printed off some sheets reduced to 40% and got started. First came the front and side fairings. These are laminated double-thickness so that inside and outside are coloured - I find it a bit difficult to do this neatly, but came up with something acceptable.
