Honda CB750 F - 1979 - WIP

This is a picture of the real bike in the color that I am planning to build it: metallic red. 

I'm planning to create the color by spraying the bodyparts in aluminium color first, followed by clear red. 

I hope that the color I will achieve comes close to the one in the pictures... 

A while ago, I started with the preparation of the parts; cleaning up and spraying the basic colors.

After detail painting is completed, I'm getting ready to start assembling the Honda bike 😉 

Ok. Let's start with phase 1 and 2 of the instructions. 

These are the parts needed for this phase. They are painted, but not weathered yet. I added the transparant hose for fuel lines. 

Phase 1 is the engine block. After assembly I gave it a X-19 smoke wash. 

Also note the yellow fuel lines, painted with clear yellow. 

The ignition wiring will be connected to the right side after assembly. 

Now it's time for phases 3, 4 and 5. 

These are the parts needed for these phases. I added the small tuning screws for the rear fork. 

The engine block is fixed into the frame; the rear fork and rear whell have been attached.

I also did a little dryfit of the fuel tank to get a preview of the final result.
