*Hayabusa Special*

Hi everyone, im here to present you this favourite bike of mine. The Hayabusa, special edition. This bike took me almost 3 weeks to complete as its rather straight out of box. The most painful portion in completing it is the painting of the fairings because i didnt use decals but juz drawings on masking tape except the hayabusa logo using the chrome decals frm studio27. Also, i added head light and rear light to enhance its realism. Well, this will be only a short WIP section. So hopefully u guys will like it.. Comments will be greatly appreciated! :)

For the fairings, quite some touching up needs to be done...:(

the chrome decals as i expected turned crumpled as i applied enamel clear over it! :( but its still acceptable IMO as its shine is still there. What matter most is that the decal is protected by the clear. thats the best comforting reason i tink.

Ok, thats it for now. Theres still some parts yet to be mounted eg. the foot rest and etc. But once after it completed i will post it to the completed forums.

Awesome! Cool to follow the progress too. good work, i like the lights!

Superb build!
Great job on the masking/painting.
Overall outstanding work

Is the frame the kit chrome, BTW?

But once after it completed i will post it to the completed forums.
I think you HAVE posted it in the "completed" forum ;)

Hahaha. Oh yA! Stupid me! well, how am i goin to move it to the WIP section, can somebody enlighten me on this? haha.

Anyway, the frame is used SOB as i found the degree of chrome of Aclads is almost similar to the frame painted by tamiya. :)

Nice innovation and build!

No problem. Just send a PM to one of the moderators.

That's also my general opinion/impression. I'm just collecting other opinions :D

Oic haha thanks alot! :)

Hi,

great: nice job on the colour, working lights, clean built !!!

What happened to the "window"? It doesn´t look clear

Oh haha, its because i wanted it to be frosted but smooth on the outside to substantiate its title to be special. So i sprayed smoke in mist from inside. haha.. Well anyway thanks very much for all the comments i have received so far. Really appreciate them!!

Thats one sweet bike man.

Wow.. cool paint job, very impressive personal touch. I really like the flames.

Wow!! Stunner!! You've done a great job.

Wow! That's cool!

NICE! Excellent paint job and the lights look superb:grinyes:

That's hot....flames turned out really nicely too. I like how you managed to put some led's in there too. Shot of the rear lights is so nice :grinyes:

Man great paint work and I like the lights!

Awesome paint job!!!
The light is a great innovation, well done!

Roca.

Thanks for all the comments so far!! Anyway as for the lights, i used hobby mate blue led set for the front light and scratchbuild the other batt holder (the white color boxlike thing at the seat) for the back. Its really regretful that i did not took enough pics on how to install them. But what i can say is tat hayabusa kit has really lots of space for the lights (as i managed to squeeze 2 3V batt into it!!). I did not install switch as they are too bulky as therefore i juz simply use a tweezer a connect the wires to the batt when i wan to on the lights.

the only pic to illustrate my idea is tis. Sigh.....

That's a cool paint scheme... and the lights really sets it off. Where did you store the battery?

Im really really regretfull to forget to take the pics.. Due to rushing this project for the competition.. well mayb wen i get to do this bike again i will post clearer pics...
