Thanks! You're right - it is MF70.

Hi,

the kit is concerning it parts a little bit disapointing, nevertheless you do a great job. Wheels, brakes/discs and exhaust look very convincing

[Macio4ever]

Thank you for your feedback!

I did some painting with Gunze SM Super Silver after dechroming parts:



I also clear coated with Gaia and polished side covers using Micromesh from 6000 to 12 000 grit than 3M polishing compound.



I have masked body and painted frame with Gunze SM. One side is pretty OK with minor corrections to be done:



Other side got me headache. The trapped dust particle when removed left a dimple. In the end I will have to sand it again and repaint.

I know nothing about motocycle or motocycle models but your work is fan-bleeding-tastic! A true masterpiece to appreciate!

[Macio4ever]

Thanks Auw12 but I am afraid you are far too kind in case of this model... Disater hits again - I just destroyed left side decal while masking. I hope that I manage to get a new set of the decals.

I also screwed masking of tankpads... Shame. I think I will not attempt to correct them as I am afraid of other decals destruction under masking tape. They were clearcoated and I sholud have used a stripe of paper under masking tape to protect decals anyway. But I did not...

The life goes on so am I

You did a great job.

However, this kit.... I cannot imagine the bike kit without engine. The chassis molded with fuel tank, tyres with rims, etc.

[Macio4ever]

Yes, this kit is rather lame...

I did some progress - horns and side protectors (de-chromed and painted with Spazstix).

Horns red lights are factory coloured.

Headlights masked, painted (Alclad Gun Metal) and glued in place. Satisfied with the result.
I used Alclad instead of semi gloss black as this paint is fast drying and allows to paint at low pressure with still very good coverage. I awanted to avoid leaks and overspray on the reflective part of the headlight.





I also painted and glued footrests:



It seems that gallery will be soon.

[Macio4ever]

Exhaust glued in place and I added clutch and brake cable.

Almost finished, the rest I will show in the gallery.

[Macio4ever]

Here comes the last update. Rear flash light is done together with antenna. Side lockers will be presented in the gallery as soon as I finish their support frame.

Despite of its simple, kit is beautiful. It looks impresive !
I rather don't like bikes, i prefer cars but when I look at this Honda, I think I would liked bikes also.
Very clean work on a basic kit. This red lamps/light and slight decals are complement white-colored body very well. Realy nice bike.

[Macio4ever]

Thanky you! That's right - it looks better than expected. Waiting for the spare decals to complete and post gallery.
