Old Marine Posted March 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2019 This is the MP figure that comes in with the old Tamiya MP Harley motorcycle kit. The MP Motorcycle kit must be about 25-30 years old. This old figure is not quite up to the crispness and quality found in the more recently made figures but I always liked this figure. Back then when this kit was released this was the only US figure depicted in a class A uniform. Anyway, I found, (rediscovered) this figure while moving and decided to finally, after all these years, build and paint him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
