Nsr 500 Checa 1998

[miguel s]

my last bike.
first photos at 90% finished.
i think that the most important to soy of this bike is the haard work with decals. Very big decals. I used a lot of mark setter and microsol... one decal was broken.
next step, more work with exaust.














i hope somebody like it.
gracias

Great job !
I have a question about Checa's NSR:
is the main frame really chrome or is the tamiya original part accurate ?
I found this kit in July Sales off and am trying to build it (first bike ever) but I feel a bit lost coming from cars models...
thanks for the answer

Thats the original part, but for the next NSR ill use: ALCLAD 2 LACQUER POLISHED ALUMINUM. (now is coming from japan to spain )
I think that if you come from cars you dont have any problem. (i´m a military modeller , thats another world.)
the problem of this bike are the super size of the decals.
For this model dont forget to buy "blue x-4 from tamiya"

Hi Miguel,

Thanks for the answer.
So if I understood well the main frame is really chrome.
I have a chrome can at home and I may try to spray some paint over the tamiya part then...
I feel a bit lost not regarding modelling skills or something like that but more regarding my knwoledges of the motorbike domain...!
I never saw any moto GP except on TV whereas I go to several rallies to get reference pics.
So that may not be my last question here
Thanks again, especially for X-4 tip

The frame is "polished Aluminum" it looks similar to the bottom of an Aluminum beer can or soda can maybe a little more shiny.

oops, so no I didn't understand well...
Miguel wasn't doing another better alternative choice but he was doing the right choice !
Thanks Mark, ok polished aluminium so the Tamiya part is better than spraying Chrome...!
I'll do with it.
thanks guys.
