1320 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Hey Guys, I started this one a while back and it sat for a while. I just got into a better space so I'm back into it and thought I'd post it up. Engine is done and just finished the blue for the tins. Decals next, I have the tobacco ones from Blue stuff. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320 Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 The decals came up nice, still a couple more to do but a great start. The blue stuff decals go on soooo nice. Jim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320 Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 A bit slow lately, more decal work and brake rotors onto wheels, I'll try and get some clear over them later today. Thanks for looking everyone. Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the dash,tail light then the primary pipes in alclad. Fitted headlights and covers, I also painted the frame in a black basecoat, just waiting for it to dry and then try some AK metal on it. I haven't used it before so will be a great experiment ? Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320 Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 Got the frame done in AK polished aluminium, it's a bit darker than I think is realistic but still looks good. Then I assembled the rear wheel, swingarm then engine and forks into frame. It's coming along well Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320 Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Things are moving along, the finish is in sight! The fujimi bike kits have some fitting issues but super cool subject matter makes up for it. Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320 Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 All done apart from some minor detailing. Fujimi kit, painted in Zero, Gravity and Vallejo. Decals by Blue Stuff. Thanks for following along. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redscampi Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 She's a winner! Can you elaborate on the fit issues you had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320 Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 Thanks for the compliments guys! The fitting issues are quite minor and only a problem if you're bad at trial fitting or dummy assembly like I am! Being spoilt by Tamiya bike kits is the only reason you'd notice anything but from memory, if you're building this one, trial fit the exhaust and fairings before paint. I could have modified both to fit nicer and more squarely but painted first and missed an opportunity. I hope that's enough info?
