SUZUKI GSX1300R HAYABUSA - Tamiya 1/12
Hello!
This is my first post on this forum My name is Tomasz and I'm from Poznan, Poland. I build cars and bikes from about 3 years. Now I'm working on Tamiya's Hayabusa. I'm going to add some extras to the kit: - Crazy Modeler photoethed set (disk brakes, radiator mesh, chain with sporcktes etc.) - aluminium valves - screws and nuts from T2M - silver/blue Zero Paints (box art picture) Kit: I'm waiting for extras I bought from Hiroboy I started with "chrome" and body parts: Engine. I glued and sanded the main parts. I also remodeled the starter using 6mm aluminium tube and thin round profiles. Now it looks more reality. Also I drilled some holes for T2M screws. I cuted plastic hoses from a water pump to replace them made from soldering wire. I grinded front of the frame to add new polistyrene parts to the head tube. I filled the swingarm inside: To be continued... Sorry for my poor English... |

A little update...
This is a paint and PE set I use with this kit: I made the swingarm. It's ready to paint: I also rebuilt rear suspension... The main engine parts, wheels and frame covered with grey primer. Disc brakes are almost ready. I glued them and put on Tamiya's handy drill and wear a little... |

Re: SUZUKI GSX1300R HAYABUSA - Tamiya 1/12
Yes, but a little
I started working with fairings and cowlings. First I applied grey primer (Guzne Surfacer - 2 coats). Then I painted gloss black (Gaia) overall as a base for silver (Zero). After that the rear fairing and fender I coverd with blue - also Zero. After paints dried I covered all parts with gloss lacquer (Gaia of coure ). I pasted masks and applied blue again. I separated radiators and add some potoetched mesh and hangers/brackets? made by myself. Replaced rear suspension spring - with correct coils - made from 0,7mm wire. A little upgraded throttle body... ... now is put on the engine... I added some hoses and wires and replaced all the screws/nuts (T2M). ...and engine to the frame To be continued...

Re: SUZUKI GSX1300R HAYABUSA - Tamiya 1/12
Here's a little update
I made a license plate holder from a 0,2mm brass sheet: I'll replace these screws by T2M with allen trapered rivets. I've also decided to add lights to the bike - front, rear and turn lights. I'm gonna use this stuff: For turnlights I use SMD diodes (the middle one). So I prepared parts for it: I'm also working with chain and sprockets... there're a lot of work to do... many (I think over 120) links to remove from PE spure and then put on the chian I've almost finished fairings and cowls. I have to sand them with 4000/6000 Micromesh paper and then overcoat once again. Which one should I choose??? |
