Update:

I have the body parts cleaned and primed. They need a little more cleaning and then its ready for paint. This time i am going to try Testor Yellow.

Nice bike should be a fun build I don't know about using that paint though it's enamel and dries in layers you put to much on at one time the first layer won't dry I would try Tamiya TS34 Camel Yellow lacquer it will dry a lot fast too.

Thanks. I have camel yellow i just wasn't sure if i should use it because the instrutions say to use yellow.

Hey Zubski,

Looks awesome so far! I love this livery. I would definitely agree with Dave and go with the TS-34. I finished this bike recently and used that same color with awesome results. Just one word of warning, because that yellow is so light, make sure to build up the color slowly in light coats, or else you will have uneven coverage, runs, and drips, and have to strip it and redo the paint job (like I did the first time).

Good luck

Stu

Thanks kans

Body parts have been painted and started to decal.

Is the blue painted or decal? Looks like decal but if it is you've achieved a very snug fit! Nice

Well, I'm at it again, how do you get these decals to conform so perfectly? I think I used Studio 27 decals for my build and I had real problems getting them over those sharp edges on the RCV cowls. The air vent hole was a nightmare, if I recall it correctly...

Decals done.

I used Micro-sol and Micro-set. I kept working it till i got it into the position i wanted it to be in. Being very CAREFUL not to wreck them.

well done so far. I love the decals.

Engine is underway.

What do you mean with careful? Do you just add the fluids or does it involve some kind of work with hair dryer or sponge?
When I built this particular bike I got areas in the vent holes that didn't get covered up, I think you managed to work them down great and you got 100% coverage. Splendid.
Engine looks good!
