Hope you like it! Nice Tamiya kit with a few modifications to civilian style bike.
-
Thanks! ?? Thank you! They are the kit's wheels, painted black and aluminum.
-
?? Thanks! ?? I like the chrome too. But I thought I'd give a go at painting the grille. Thanks ?? Oh yeah! I needed this! Thanks! ?? All done with a cell phone ?? Thanks?
-
Thanks guys!?
-
Thanks! You'll enjoy it!
-
Thanks! Yeah. I removed all the chrome. The only modified parts are the headlights (the kit doesn't have lenses) and the airfoil (scratched that).
-
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!!
-
Got this one done!
-
Just finished this one in the WIP forum. A tough kit to build. Lots of tiny pieces and tight fits.
-
Finished! Added more tubing in the engine. And all the chrome parts. Thank you all for following! I'll upload more pictures in the finished model's area
-
Thank you! Thanks! ?? Thanks! I used flocking powder. ??? Man... Fitting the chassis was really complicated.
-
The body went on ok! A very tight fit.
-
Thanks!
-
Thanks. Lot's of test fitting involved. But it's a cool kit.
-
? I learn so much here every day. It's nice to contribute too.

BMF is a pain to use on kits that don't have very defined trims such as this one.

Windshield; Seatbelts:

Other things I did:

Thanks! The build is back on it's tracks ?
-
Masked the black trims. Painted with chrome. Masks removed.
-
Now it's trim time. To mask the trim, I start with Fine strips of tape. Gloss Black first I'll let it dry before painting the chrome.

A relief after the cracked varnish? Thanks! And I found out what I did wrong. The second coat was too heavy. When this happens, the surface dries faster then the thick wet layer and then wrinkles.
-
Applied more varnish and then polished. First I sanded down to 3000 grit until almost all shiny spots were gone. Then polished with compounds. Looking good?
-
Yes. Luckily the paint wasn't affected; only the varnish.
-
Ran into some trouble on the varnish wet coats. I think I applied the second wet coat too early. The instructions say you must give 5minutes between each coat. Got wrinkles: Had to let it dry 24hours and sanded everything with 1200 grit.
