Re: Gunze bsa gold star 1/12

Progressing, but slowly yet...
Fitting chain copy to PE and PE chain mudguard


Very very crude metal casting, you need a lot of effort an a large amount of file work to finish prior to primer. YouŽll need also a lot of drill bits, the whole kits need to open a huge amount of tiny holes, not ever specified in instructions.



Dry test fitting with some pieces (all of them metal) primed and a ligth black basecoat, engine will be aluminium (alclad) and frame and fork black.



I was not going to add more work because of the kit is enough complex, but the handlebar is TERRIBLE, so cut everything and tried to improve it, with plastic, steel and patience, even redone is the throttle output.



Added some Verlinden hexagon nuts.

Tricky fit in front mudguard. Side pieces from PE and they are fitted with 6 tiny pin heads. Mudguard was dechromed (all chromed pieces were).



MORE SOON. HOPE YOU LIKE IT:l ol:
