I just love this thread. The detail you're adding everywhere is superb. I haven't built anything for quite a while but watching this come together is so inspiring!! You're officially one of my favourite builders!

I think I can surprise you soon very cool sponsor decals
and in the meantime I'll show you how I made coolant expansion tank.
Tamiya did not do it at all







I found on ebay pictures that helped me get the dimensions of the reservoir







I started with a few layers of polystyrene with a thickness of 1mm





and next cutting and grinding



I made a mounting from plate thickness of 0.2 mm





and finally

Re: Yamaha YZF-R1 - Tamiya 1:12 [STUNT BIKE]

Thanks Micha!

I was wondering how to make black flames on the fairings.
I started with a black decal





But I was not satisfied with the results so I bought the Aizu tape 0.4 mm wide



and I start masking





and Gaia black gloss



then I removed the masking leaving Aizu tape



and performed delicate shading using airbrush

Re: Yamaha YZF-R1 - Tamiya 1:12 [STUNT BIKE]

You're sick!!!!!!
0.4mm tape ? I never found this thin in the Netherlands.
The smallest i ever found was 6 mm .
The flames came out fabulous.

painting Gunze grey primer, Gaia black gloss and Gunze SM01



I also painted engine





and began to mount accessories



also painted the cover





with traces of use, of course
