Yamaha YZR500 FINISHED

Finished the bike sans shell today. The body needs to be polished out and decals applied. Rest of the bike is done. Here's a pic

I finished putting on the decals and stuff. Wish I could have taken these photos in natural sunlight, but where I am (the city) I only get a small slice of it in my small-ass backyard, so I'll have to wait for the weekend when. Plus it was raining all of last week. I know this is an auto forum, but tell me what you think

I Like it! Excellent work!

I'd prefer to leave the side-panels off to show the engine details, etc. which are hidden by them.

I don't know if you've seen the following site before, but Coaster runs probably *the* best motorcycle modeling site on the web...

http://www.interlog.com/~khartlen/

Regards
Mark

ps. In my stockpile of half-finished models, I have a Ducati that I cocked up the side panels on. I need a scriber to put the panel lines back in. I might get around to finishing it one day... (might).

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Bikes are very fun to build, I think they are perhaps easier than autos (I know I won't miss masking window rubbers ) and they are very detailed, looks very good when finished

Tyrell - The shell will only come off if the front wheel is detached, so as much as I'd like to expose the engine it would be too much hassle putting it on and off

snowboarder - sounds good to me
