Mike C Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I just started this one. I started engine and frame assy and painting the fairings. I got some pretty good 1st coats. Tbe metallic blue was pretty easy, metallic colors always lay down smooth. White can be a bit orange peeled but this 1st coat of white came out really good. I just have to paint the metallic blue where the bottom fairing is masked on the sided: Box art: The kit; The frame already comes with the silver coating. And here is further progress on this bike: Here's an update on work I've done. I did some frame assy and heat stained the tuned pipes. I included a photo from the box side panel so you can see how the pipes have this foil covering on them so you don't think I did some cheesy job putting foil on them. It's not like BMF on chrome trim, doesn't need to be crinkle free. Box photo: Model photos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r60man Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Tamiya bike kits are really nice. The frames are really beautiful and have the perfect look to them compared to the original. You are doing a great job with the paint. This is one of the few bike kits I do not have or haven't already built. Keep up the great work.
