2002 Yamaha YZR500 Moto GP

Started on this one a couple weeks ago. Primered the "tins", painted most of the parts, and getting ready for some carbon fiber fun tonight and tomorrow.
If anyone has a pic of Sylvain Guintoli's test bike, I'd like to see a pic. I have a couple pics of him on the older style upper cowling, but I need a pic of him on the newer style bike. He only raced in one race - Czech Grand Prix at Brno. I can't find any pics for him at that race though...
Anyway, ramble off. Pics on.

Looking good so far, waiting for updates .

Re: 2002 Yamaha YZR500 Moto GP

Thanks gents!
@miguel - Thanks! Appreciate it!
@John - Not much more than OOTB, honestly.
@badi - Studio27's add on sheet. Very good quality stuff.

Little bit more done over Christmas break...
Paint is on - pardon the dust. ugh.


Carbon is applied!


I just cleared the body panels this morning. Should have decals on in the next couple days.

Re: 2002 Yamaha YZR500 Moto GP

It's looking good Erick - what type of clear did you use on the suspension parts and on the body panels? which company and size is the carbon? - Thanks - John

Re: 2002 Yamaha YZR500 Moto GP

No clear on anything in the pics yet... Straight out of the can Tamiya TS29. I've been using KA CF for this one exclusively. They are nice and dark and conform very well.

Re: 2002 Yamaha YZR500 Moto GP

More done over the weekend...
Panels finally cleared. First time using 2 part. This stuff is the cats ass.


Some assembly work:


Swing arm:


Couple parts detailed:


Couple shots of what I have now:




Started decaling interior panels on Friday night. I spent 9 hours JUST decaling the insides of panels. :o Most of them you won't even see, but it's there. I should have more in the next couple days. I just started the exterior panels.

Why dont you leave the cowlings off? you can make a simple stand to display them seperately. i dont think your efforts should go unseen!

Re: 2002 Yamaha YZR500 Moto GP

Holy decals batman! I think I'm almost done...



Couple chassis shots... I added some VERY lightweight fiberglass to make a insulation sock for the shock reservoir. I thought it looked cool!




Couple quick mockups.



On to finishing up the exhaust and a few spots to detail, then it'll be done-dizzle. Getting close...

Re: 2002 Yamaha YZR500 Moto GP

dlphnfn - this YZR is soooo sweet I'm getting a cavity just looking at it. The cowling are perfect - did you carbon the inside before you did the 2K clear or did you complete the outside first, then work on the inside and clear both inside and out at one time? - without a doubt one of the nicest YZR's - Erick was that KA Models carbon decals? which one exactly - they have several types? - John

Re: 2002 Yamaha YZR500 Moto GP

Hey dlphnfn - Kans made a great suggestion - "why don't you leave the cowlings off" - make a stand for them - they look too good to be covered up - John
