Looking at some reference photos perhaps the real fork legs are more yellow/golden but I think yours look good!

Hi everybody,


Hereby my sixth update.
I'm sorry it took so long but I had some problems with the pictures.
I lost a memory card with some pictures on it.
I can only show you the beginning of the progress and the chain mounted on the bike.
Because I have not many pictures of the chain I decided to make a bigger update.
I'll show you the chain, finished the front and rear wheel, and you can see the status of the bike right now.


CHAIN

I've used a Topstudio kit.

The set looks good with a few bags of very, very small pieces, a manual and the front and rear sprockets.


The scale is 1:12 and thats really, really small !!







Before you can begin assembly the chain you first have to make a bracket










You need a chain of approx 10 inches, and every piece you make is about 1,5 inch long.
It took my about one hour to make 1 piece.


Like I said, I had some problems.


When I was dry fitting the front sprocket it got stuck, couldn't remove it anymore!!
Because I didn't want to risk damaging the bike itself I decided to leave it like that.
Mounting the chain though wasn't so easy.



Because I lost a memory card I can't show you anymore right now.
Later on you can see the final result.


When I was making the chain I also made the rear brake disc. This comes in 5 pieces.



Final result...



When the chain was done I began with the wheels.


WHEELS

REAR WHEEL

I started making a hole for the air valve...






...and did a dry fit.






After making the holes for the air valves I sprayed the wheels gloss black from Zero-Paint,fitted some decals and finished it with some clearcoat also from Zero-Paint.


Mounted the tires and used sanding paper 400.

...they look like this, nice right?









When everything was done it was time for mounting the rear tire, chain, sprocket, brake disc and some small PE stuff...


...final result.




FRONT WHEEL


For the front wheel I wanted to use a PE brake disc set which I had ordered together with the kit. But.. I ordered only 1 set and not 2 sets...
That meant that I had only a brake disc set for one side of the wheel.
So I had to use the original brake discs which came with the kit
Painted the disc gun metal from Tamiya X-10



Front wheel is done.







This model is almost done.
The next thing I have to do are the fairing, tophalf seat etc etc
I'll show all those things in a next update and maybe together with the end result.
The final four pics are from the bike in the current state and two pictures with some reference material.











This is all for now
Thanks for watching and until next time

Hi everybody,


Finally, finally , I'm done with the Kawasaki.
So I will show you the last pictures.
I decided to leave the right fairing part off.
So I can see the engine.

Let me know what you think.
I don't know what my next project will be.











































Thanks for watching,
Untill next time.
