Hi willmo,

I guess this tire is a production of automobilminiaturen.

Here some update:


Parts after covering with clear (no polishing yet)




front wheel with etched brake-discs






as mentioned: engine and frame nearly OOB, will later be hidden by the body-parts

Hayabusa with Gulf color is nice idea!
wondeful paint job and that is very impressive project.

Getting better all the time! Nice finish and the frame/engine-parts looks really clean!

Hi,

thanks for the comments !!!

A wide rear tire brings a problem: the tire and the chain will have contact. But there is a solution: the chain must be placed a little bit more away from the longitudinal axis. No problem at the rear axle, but usually the chain leads between transmisson and frame to the bevel wheel. So you need another axle with 2 bevel wheels at the swingarm.


Here a 1:1 bike:




here at the model:

Chain from transmission to "bevel wheel axle"




etched chain from "bevel wheel axle" to the rear






later this area will get a cover, similar to the 1:1 photo

this is interesting

Hi,

yes you wait for a mock up, but before I had to solve some problems fixing the rear wheel, nevertheless here is a little update:


Frontfairing 95% finished






chain:






Cover for the bevel wheels





Maybe someone realized, that I opened the area, where the co-driver sits. Here I put in a NOS-bottle, built like this:

upper part of a injektion




putty, sanding, primered




coloured in blue, handwheel from a firebrigade-kit




can look like this





(sorry for the photos)

I really like the swingarm with the cable loops you made. The front fairing is fantastic, super clean with the signal lights and mesh.
