I built my buddy the H2 carbon about 5 years ago, and at that time picked up this H2R, but didn't feel up to doing 2 in a row...so it sat...

At the time I had already assembled the frame and shot it with a Duplicolor gold and then Tamiya clear green out of the airbrush

Drilled out the rotors and Duplicolor Chromed them..

Now 5 years later I'm thinking, no, I can't build out of box

Going to try to build a track bike with maybe a tobacco livery just for fun

Engine nearing completion

Need to modulate that wash just a little...looks a little too dirty...like there's a leaky oil pan...lol

More soon

Comments questions and critiques always welcome

Cheers

I've got a set of Marlboro Decals I think I can fit in somewhere

I'm thinking of masking the point of the white gable in the middle of the gas tank, and red from there back....

This is a good lookin' bike build Bruce. Engine detail is "all that" and the weathered effects look great on it. 

Thnx Joe..long time no see..thanks for dropping in..

It has been a while hasn't it. I'll make it more of a habit to drop in on your works and to say "Hey" Bruce. This is continuing to look swell and is building up nicely bud.

  Very clean building

Thanks Mark, but I tell ya, Ziggy (my Husky)  is shedding her undercoat right now, and I am about to lose my mind...

Anyway, this is the final mockup for masking....

Took off the flourescent front fender tag..just didn't fit in...I see the line where the red needs to follow down the side skirts  to the front fender, and it'll get another red chevron on top...lot's of fun taking apart and putting back together...

Cheers

Hey thanks for stopping by Tim...yeah when you have extra decals you gotta use 'em up..lol

The masking and painting took the most time..the Tamiya kit went together flawlessly, but I can't build anything out of box I guess

Man.......the detail in this puppy is just all THAT Bruce. Amazing work on this bike with all of the paint and intricate work throughout. 

BTW......I feel your pain on doggy undercoat shedding. As a result.....my dogs are banned from the modeling room. lol
