YAMAHA YZR-M1 2005 GAULOISES No.46

[YongGun Park]

Hi, everyone. Long time no see.


Lots of work but little progress...


Tried to check if the cowlings fit well. However, there's some problem(maybe serious)and it needed lots of correction and sanding.





So, big corrections have been almost finished.



Air-intake... Made sill for front cowling.






And lengthen the inside of front cowling where the air-intake is fit.






They will be fit like this.






Rear cowlings - A little change with the original part.





And Bolts...

For this project, I'm using lots of bolts from after market, and many of them should be embeded.








Compare the bolts. THEY SHOULD BE EMBEDED.






Chain tensioner. I used screws and nuts from Tuner Model Manufacturer and they look perfect.






Handle part. It still needs lots of work.








Thank you for watching.

Hi friends.

As usual, very little progress...



Added some detail on muffler joint.



Can you see it?



Compare it with the original one.





Also added a seam and a joint.





And the radiator's piping is different with the real one, so I changed it.





If you have made this kit you may see the difference.





With the muffler.





It took almost 2 hours to add those clamps. But...

Looks nice.





And made heel guards. Topstudio released them. So I have saved my money.




Thanks for watching.

Thank you very much for your reply. Especialy using Korean.

But, for Korean, I don't think Google translation is very good.

Hello, friends. I restarted this one again.

A little update after long time.



As this bike has lots of carbon fiber parts, I've sent many days for CF parts. But many parts still remain to be done.





Some parts need patching.






For the air intake part, I divided the decal into 11 pieces.

Hello!
Adorable, great job!
I have long wanted to ask: how you were made of metal nuts and bolt heads? Or they can be anywhere to buy ready-made?
In Russia, I am certainly not likely to be able to buy it, but the internet works wonders ...

Thank you. I used bolts from T2M or Tuner Model Manufactory. I bought them from internet shop(hobbyeasy.com) in HongKong. Very nice product but quite expensive.

I'm still applying CF decals. But it's a very boring job.

So I did some painting on cowlings for rest. Applied primer, base white and main color. I painted racing blue, Tamiya's TS51, by air brush.








I like the livery of gauloises very much. I hope I can finish the cowlings without serious accident.


I'll be able to apply decals on cowlings in a few days.


Thank you for watching.

I started to apply decals.

When I started this project, Tamiya had not released the 2005 season's gauloises version yet. Therefore, I used Tamiya's kit of 2005 Valencia version and prepared after market decal from Studio27. Studio27's decal was printed by cartograf.


But I found.....





The Studio27's decal was very disappointing.



The silver part of the stripe should be...






As I couldn't find the better solution, I bought another Tamiya kit of gauloises version.

In Korea, Tamiya's agent - Tamiya Korea - notified that they will not take order for additional decal in this case. Because I have never purchase gauloises kit from them.


The Tamiya's decal is very nice as usual. It is also printed by cartograf !





I hate this Studio27's decal but I can use the 'GAULOISES' mark instead of the 'GO!!!!!!!' mark from Tamiya.



I also started to paint engine. I hate this triple colored engine...

I will be able to add plugs and cables soon.
