Scale-Master Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Can't seem to stay away from these Hayabusa kits. Plus it is so much more fun to start a new kit than to finish one of the twenty plus models I already have under construction... This one is the Yoshimura X1. Had to play with a flame scheme on this one too. Just another OOB build, with a bit of extra painting. Here are some in progress shots. First I prepped and painted the body panels. Mostly Tamiya lacquers, freehand airbrushing and some stenciling for definition, over a gold base coat. The engine received some "special" color treatments too. The wheels are Mica Red with Dullcote over a gold base. Up on it's wheels... A close up of the flame design in the front fender...
Harry P. Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 That chain detail looks great. Amazing how a little properly applied paint detailing can be so effective.
drnitrus Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Great work, cant wait to see it all together.
Peter Lombardo Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 I am not into motorcycles, real or models, but that is one beautiful build so far. I really like the flames...nice color choices.
Scale-Master Posted September 17, 2007 Author Posted September 17, 2007 It is really coming along... This one's taking less time than the last one, even with all the painting.
