for the radiator, i used the mesh from the sms pe set.

this, i also used the pe set for the rear brake disc.

instead of using the plastic mesh which is provided by the kit, i used the sms pe set to put extra bit of realism on the bike.

somehow, i got a shock when i was using the decals. it seems that the moment it comes out from the water, it starts to tear apart. it happens on certain decals such as the "gsx 1300 r", the "suzuki" logo for the rear tail, the caution sign on the left side of the fairings & the hayabusa logo on the right side of the fairings. luckilly for the hayabusa logo, i managed to cover it up. after i finished this bike, somehow i would say to myself "remind me not to buy things that are going cheap or buy 1 free 1".

looks very good.Nice work on the painting.

Great job. But it is the Tamiya kit right? Then I would have tried to get another set of decals. They aren't supposed to crack up like that.

thanks, guys.

i would have ordered it from rainbowten when the decal cracked up when it's touched. probably it's been in the hobby store for a long time & the decal has been getting fragile as time passes i guess.

Hey, I'm a fan of the BUSA. It seems that you had a little problem getting the line between the two colours crispy. Did you use the masking tape from the kit?
By the way, did you clear the model afterwards?
Keep up the good work!

yes, i used the masking tape from the kit but i didn't clear the model afterwards.

Nice work, love that wide rear end!
