Kawasaki ZX-RR 2006 motogp

[modellmaker.]

Hi everybody,

After I finished the Alfa Romeo I started a new project.
This time I chose a motorcycle, a 2006 Kawasaki ZX-RR motogp bike.
It took a while before I started posting this project because I wanted to get a head start on this one.


Oke, now its time for the pics.
Let me know what you think about it.


The first pics are for the boxart and his content.












I also want to use a lot of extras, bolts, chain and a lot of PE and other stuff.


I got some pics from evilduse as a reference for my build.
Evilduse, thanks a lot !!!




When I ordered the kit I forgot to order the green paint from Zero-paint.
Now I'll have to use a spray can from Tamiya for this build.


These were the first pictures from the start of this project next time more pictures.
I will use the reference pictures to try to make a perfect model, but I will have to modify some small things which I don't like.
You'll see those in a next update

Wow, looks like you're in for a very detailed build!
I have this kit in the stash also, so will be watching with interest.
Great reference shots too! Bravo! Marco

[Riggers]

I concur with Mark, looks like a stunning build....I also have one in the stash, so look forward to the build.
Shame about the TS can, but never mind....

ATB........

Hi,

I've been working on the bike for three months now but it's going slow.
I wanted to get a head start on this one because all the extras take a lot of time to do it right.
I'm not easily pleased and want to do it 100%
Within a few days I'll post a new update with more pics.

Hi everybody,


A little bit earlier than expected but I can show you the first real update


I started with the frame.
There is a mounting bracket for the fairing but It's not the same as the one on the kit.
See the original photo below


bracket on the kit:


bracket on the real bike:


made new brackets...


And modified the frame


gone!!


Finished the frame and painted it with Zero-paints, semi-gloss black, TS-29




I will mount the brackets when the bike is completely done and the fairings are painted.
Now the frame is ready I will add some extras.


On the original photo you'll see a blue transponder.


I'll make this one together with the black square box what's also on the frame.


I'll make this one from scratch


Final result.
There's also a PE part for the blue transponder.
I only have to paint it


And there's a PE part for the rear axle.


I applied some carbon decals on the front and clear coated it




On the front there are a lot of sensor, wires and other hich tech stuff.
I wanted to make a few for a more realistic look.


...made from old plastic...


...drilled a hole...


...and mounted the sensor.








Then made the red sensor...


He is very small.


Modified the red ECU.



On the kits ECU there's a small bracket on it.


This one has to go


...I'll make a new bracket from a old inner tube of a bicycle...


...cut off a little piece, and primerd the ECU


...and placed two rivets in the strip.



...glued the strip on to the bike...


...and mounted the ECU...




...all I have to do is connect the wires and this one is ready.


Done!!




The final sensor to make...


and looks like this...


This is what the frame looks right now, also painted the rear brake cylinder.




This is all folks for now
Next time: the ENGINE.




Untill the next update.

Real nice work .
Looks perfect .

[MarcoMoto]

Agree! Beautiful micro-work!... Did you get the complete Top Studio
super detail-up kit? It has many resin parts, PE,and a very complex wiring diagram in it. If not, you might want to look at their instructions to give you ideas.
Your WIP will be very useful when I start mine... Marco

Hi Marco,

No I don't have the complete Top studio super detail-up kit.
Maybe I should have.
Do you have the wiring diagram?
Thanks for the compliment! I'll do my best to get the best result

Super build. I follow closely...

Hi everybody,

It's time for the second update.
I've been busy lately so had little time to place this update.
This time I'll show the engine and I began on the exhaust system.

ENGINE
I started by drilling a lot of small 0.019685in holes because I want to use real bolts.








I will add a piece of clear tube for the oil level so the original piece had to go.






After te prep work it was time to put the engine together and to add some color.
This is the result.


Added the oil cooler






The oil pan will get another color


Done!


Started on the left side with adding some small parts.
That PE stuff is really fragile!!


The valve cover is ready after painting and adding some really small bolts.

Sorry, the valve cover is '' Magnesium '' NOT '' Dark Magnesium '' !!




Then I began on the right side








For the clutch I used the example to get the right color




This is the end result.



Now it's time to mount the engine into the frame


And the last two pics for now are with a mounted clutch.




EXHAUST SYSTEM
Next update


For now this is all.
I'll try to place a little bit sooner a new update.
Let me know what you think .
until next time
