Suzuki Hayabusa **Progress**

Well it was about time I start this kit.

For this project, I will use Crazy Modeler Photo-etched parts.

More pictures and all descriptions can be found on my web site. (http://www.models.magietec.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=30)

As usually, comments are appreciated.

very good job with the tire painting.....nice looking

I'm glad you are building this one.I have a soft spot for this bike as I owned one in real life.What colour are you going to be painting it?

Nice to see more bike builds! The progress looks impressive as always!

Excellent work! Is that aclad on the frame?

Looks good so far. These bikes always turn out great. I will be interested to hear your observations on the PE set during construction.

Hi Vric,
Awesome work so far ,
looking forward to see the next steps .
Cheers Lutz

Finally some update. Don't have much time lately, but I finally did the paint. I will start the work on the exhaust this week.

Paint looks nice! The Red looks sweet on this bike!

Yeah! This paint scheme is so good looking and you've made it justice!

Looks great Eric! The detailing is superb, you have a very good touch for such things.

I can't wait to see the rest! :)

Very nice! Any tips on how to get the purple staining? I've been trying mixing clear red and clear blue wich would be purple, but all I get is brown...

Long time since I did an update. I took yet another break from modelling, but since a week or so, the "feeling" is back and I'm back to work.

There is a lot done since the last update, but I didn't took many pictures. Anyway:
