Box art
After you cut away all the flash and spru parts your left with these components i have stripped of the origional plating
Partial assembly these all fit very well indeed
Glued and clamped
Final result before painting (its ordered and coming from spain)
Frame and fairing support it looks quite flimsy but will see how it stands up to the build
Engine cylinder is made up of individule parts and these go together very well
Bottom of cylinder
Carbs again went together well. Clips were a joy to paint!!
Carbs with detail up bell mouths fitted these are a nice touch.
Cylinderhead and top of gearbox
Engine almost complete just the plugs to fit detail up clutch also in the kit looks great as well
Frame now freshly painted with rubber mounts for the seat and tank fitted along with 3 coils for the big 6 cylinder engine
Frame
Frame and engine
Were im at
Unfortunately i mistakenly painted the engine the wrong colour!! There is a mistake in the assembly instructions and to be fair a rectification note in the packaging despite crossing out the error i still managed to mix the paint wrong!! ??
So after the paint issue i stripped it all and repainted the right colours ?
Now back on track with the build engine swinging arm and rear wheel assembled and in the frame ?
Rear end
Rh side
Lots of tubing
Exhaust and fork stantions in the booth
Top tubes are DP’s and look very nice in deed
However fitting the cir-clip is challenging & @ about 2mm in diameter very hard to find when it pings off ??
forks and exhaust fitted (forks are temporary they need to come off to put the fairing on)
Steering damper
Oil filled pipe work used clear yellow for it took a bit of sucking!!!
Tank and seat painted
Fairing and mud gaurd painted
Few other bits almost there with this build
Fairing fitted last couple of decals to fit
In fills panels in place
Magnets in place for the in fill panels on the fairing
Ready for final assembly
Front end and faing infinal possition
In the cabinet
All done just the 16 to add on the front once the white panel settles down
Good kit a bit fiddly with fat fingers bit looks nice once completed
