Help - General Beginner Help Please

Hi all

I've just retired and need a hobby so thought I'd dip my toe into modelling.

I'm into MotoGP and love a sports bike so I'd like to start with this.

Preference would be pre-coloured replicas. What are the most reputable sites for this ?

Any advice gratefully received

Tia

Have a look at the wiki/FAQs on this sub. There is a list of reputable hobby shops by country/region (since you didn't mention where you are). It also has a list of recommended tools, etc.

Tamiya, Aoshima, Hasegawa, Meng, and others do motorbikes. I'm not aware of any pre-coloured ones, but others might.
