Greets Lutz

The exhaust looks really good! This same bike is going to be my next bike build up. I am looking forward to your treatment of it.

The exhaust looks great!!! it seems to be real!

Hi ;

Only some small cf decals are applied

P.S. Sorry about the bad pics ,I make some better pics in daylight.

Unbelievable how you guys work with CF on those small parts. I'll never get the hang of it.
Nic work Lutz
Joel

Hi Joel ,
THANKS for comment,
it was the first time i worked with CF .

What CF is that ?

Hi Steve;

The CF is from Scale motorsport ,scale 1/20 SKU:1420
Cheers Lutz

Hi ;
I worked a little bit at the engine
the carbs need a little washing ,and the oil filter must be painted too.

Lutz

Nice updates! Have you started the cowling parts?
/Joel

Hi Joel ;

I`m watching for the right Color for the bike ,I prefer the original Color of the box.
Any hints ???
Cheers Lutz

What's in the instructions? How about Light gun metal (Tamiya TS-42) Don't have the can myself but from the color chart it looks something like that.
/Joel

Hi Joel;
Instructions says:
Titanium Metallic
MS-5 (X-10.10+X-12:1)

I think ,I`lltry that Color

or mix myself ??
Cheers Lutz

Gun metal and gold?? Interesting. I'd try and get hold of the MS paint.
/Joel

I have test mixed the 3 colors, and actually, Gunmetal - Gold 10 to 1 looks excellent.

However, Gloss Red - Silver or Gloss Black - Silver 10 to 1 look nice too.

Choices choices.

Hi ;
Small Update.
I worked a little at the engine the injection and the tubes became hose clamps with bmf foil and a little washing with thinned black.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/6136666564613264.jpg

Here the Rearend , Ifilled it with sheet.Now it needs a little putty than sanding and fter that I will paint with Alclad Crome
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/1152_3161633230373739.jpg

Cheers Lutz

Both those suggested colour combinations would look good on this bike!

mall Update;
The rearend was filled with Sheet to get the spare Diameter and filled with putty.Need some more shape to get painted.

Cheers Lutz

Looks very nice... this was one of the first bikes I built... yours look better though!

The MS paints are no longer produced and hard to find, especially MS-5.

Wow I don't know why I have not seen this thread before

The exhaust pipe has impressed me :) :grinyes:
Great work with the engine at the moment.

More pics please!!! :lol:

Roca.

Hi Roca,

More engine Pics if it`s complete finished ,OK?

Here a small update .
I made the rims and the fork with Alclad Chrome

sorry about the bad pics ...my cam is damaged.
Cheers Lutz

Why not send a PM instead. I don't find it suitable to push your private thoughts on another person over a public forum.
/Joel

great job
this was one of the first bikes i built using spray cans

Small Update;
The paint ......
I mixed it myself by acrylics from Vallejo and Artist Acrylic colors.It doesn`t match with the real ,but it`s my Color Coice.

This will be a hot one! :grinyes:
Can´t wait to see it finished!

Hi;
Here some Pics of the chain
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/6537303034336563.jpg

and the rearbrake

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/3962643438303463.jpg
I painted it with Alclad polished Aluminium and
the brake needs some washing.
Greets Lutz

Hi Lutz!
I don't know if you did this but a tip is to paint the "Nissin" letters with the appropriate color prior to the final color and then sand lightly over the letters to make the bottom color appear. Can be hard to paint the letters afterwords.
Looks nice so far though!
Joel

HI Joel ;THANKS for the tip,
I`ll try to do so.
Greets Lutz

Hi,
I tried out to paint the brakesaddles like Joel told,
and here the result on the dryfitted bike
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/3562623831323063.jpg

after that the seat looks much to ong ,and I decided to build a 1 Man Seat.
Original:
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/6566643838623731.jpg

Seatrest needed a little Shape

Body -Topview
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/6335316232653064.jpg

and Sideview
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/3733393466343837.jpg

now the cover needs some putty and shape to fits well.
Cheers Lutz

Looks really nice.

I want to build one of these Tamiya Blackbirds soon, the real machine is a real understated Motorcycle that has a lot of potential, just as the pics of a real one here show.

Can I ask where you get the Carbon Fibre film you used or the technique you used for that finish?



Look fwd to seeing this one build up.

to get the right Color choiuce with the cockpit.
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/57/405357/3139633733356565.jpg

Hope, its helpful for someone ..

Greats Lutz

You have a Private message.
Roca.

Seat material looks great! How did you attach it? Superglue or something else?
/Joel

Hi Joel;
I took thinned White Glue to attach it to the seat.
It was very simple to use.
Cheers Lutz

Lutz I put here this because I know you will see this... I sent a private message and I hadn't no reply.

I would like to know where is the figure, for last time. You can send me an email or whatever you want to tell me the truth I regarded you sending that thing I sent but I'm still waiting your package. Maybe you have some paper to tell they that the package hadn't arrived yet.
Next time, I will look to buy it from another also for my part I'm not going to ask you anymore.

Bye.

By the way good progress.
