YAMAHA YZR-M1 2005 GAULOISES No.46

Hello, friends !

I started new project. But Yamaha YZR-M1 2005 again.
I've practiced twice and I dare to challenge the perfect version this time. Can I make it? Who knows?


I'm using this kit. It's 3rd time to make this kit.

And, Top studio's detail up set.

And some other after market's ribet, bolt, etc.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1p4MLBCEcJsFmvEpw6gAMGxzXLNmmJIvI9PyfZ9IJTmZFNpzo uWjOuzC6_14klVWwPpX2KH8aXHJU/1265035939_DSCN3666.jpg?psid=1



I'll make gauloises version by using the studio27's decals.

As usual I started with dry fit.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pv_Ea3CI6-8tMnd9ocLfy74__E3uhgP7xmqW2_FvYSGFdqFyQd6U9ZxRYqti B3H3Qm84KvAdPzp0/1199279091_DSCN3227.jpg?psid=1



To use the Top studio's detail set, you have to modify the making order for easier work.

If you make in right order, you can easily proceed. So I think planing and deciding the working order are very important and it must be very different from that of the instruction of the tamiya kit.



After dry fit, you can see the gap between two parts.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pFCjZEhkC5shbrkqeEqPLHjSdmlW7dD2lAwokG2erBQZovHJ-MeBztTODyLiVw_gUb66nSi3vb9I/1265035939_DSCN3663.jpg?psid=1


Made guides for easy positioning and fill the gap with styrene sheets.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1p0Fopp4UwXhu5IqQj65dBzFl6l2E2p4bY_cWmmOMcYlb0uED hZEGPeFHLY3FmwUsG_s79SZ7Xx1U/1265035939_DSCN3670.jpg?psid=1

After filling the gap, modified the shape of this part. (Sorry, I don't know the name of the part. Could anybody tell me the name?)

This part is not fit to the radiator well.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pnDt5lnjSCLIUAT90aFWfkw0oG1_WT-tMhyp9VourQ5jyAGmVo7Zijk_jRght8VHO5F-bDG-JWTE/1265425221_DSCN3678.jpg?psid=1



And checked if parts are fit well each other.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pQhEQvyx0IfcmA7L45I2qpQ6XIq3BwNMEcXBwTq1AYluyYb_ jeDJXIw7NkcGzCpNWT9Yfi4Vs7ko/1265425221_DSCN3677.jpg?psid=1



I hope to fit all the cowlings together after I finished all the details. So I kept checking the parts' positioning.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pmT9xKfoTc-lGZ4lsEOeCoym1GHm-z34B6hE5rpfvslkz6YGlYSIXTLiRx7aC-vZGeSzezH7d7Kw/1265425221_DSCN3676.jpg?psid=1


There's no gap between those two parts in real M1. I should do something afterward.

After modifying the shape of the resin part and checking the assemble of each part, remove this part.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pvJ40LAYHY7FDvNqQZl0n_tDI8qfuEl1bWfepUzApvDGuVuU h9ixWUS3vy7BB1JC52SgauCuqLTk/1265520372_DSCN13676.jpg?psid=1



And trimed the styrene.

Made the mount to correct the positioning of the guage.(I'm not sure it's the correct name.)

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pvW_DCDQz3EGsy9mvCVC11ha0oKv6ZefB53TGalgJemcl5fn ViH0vdMbHKjfOQfAq3cZabLq4j3Y/1265554154_DSCN3683.jpg?psid=1

And cut the carbon panel below the front cowling.

Awesome, I can't wait to see this WIP. I'm just about to start the same kit and use the Top Studio kit. This will be my first try using the Top Studio kit.

another masterpiece in the works :smokin:

Thanks a lot for your kind comment. :smile:

This will again be an interesting build. The start looks promissing.

Thanks for sharing the tips. Very useful.

I think this will be a very interesting project. and goes straight to my favorites:licka:

A little progress...

Making these parts.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1prqyaWKQ2wzy_oc5HjDOS_zOJBbMgq5ffKPDNhzblsUA39__ 7MLsplh38aoLm1ASFX2Oy5CF734w/1266748015_1237678773_yamaha_m1_8.jpg?psid=1



I decided to make them by using the original parts and styrene plates.

It must be difficult but those resin parts included in the Top studio detail set are not well fit with the cowlings either, and I prefer the styrene part to the resin one because I'm planing to assemble the cowlings by small bolts.



Firstly, I laminated styrene plates and made space for fitting both parts.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1prqyaWKQ2wzwZEpUwIZJWVRIXNTFce1DVa_w5Y4NKu-WR-VTy9wseJJHwm9XLcbwgWrrAOjlcsxA/1266748015_DSCN3686.jpg?psid=1



It will be fit like this.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pPnWUdntnuAh_cVkjX-uUk1-S151TaOKwWIM_nR1ADPwDOyPCMs41Gz01nozGI4lCP41hXQ0Tb FY/1266748015_DSCN3687.jpg?psid=1



Roughly cut the shape and glue them.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pP6QwX9W4ijfJuCxaLavvhtdXyZtQqq9VMhdra0ma_0zYsTo 7eL7SSnVK5cee4eFuXvaeLS0HX9g/1266748015_DSCN3688.jpg?psid=1



Made shape by carving and sanding. It's a work.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pP6QwX9W4ijfiYKUhpufB-muEscOZecdzMnsnwvkczGcWWffPIC2A7zByZrM-XZWt4ENcNRXFQbk/1266748015_DSCN3689.jpg?psid=1



It will be fit like this.

The front cowling could be snap fit without glue like this.

Checked if cowlings are fit well.

And added the sill for front cover.

Made the partition of the fuel tank and the linkup with the main frame.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pMM5OzmG-8MTxXd0WykFwq45luCfcP2Hy_mIqKx5bW3H-vmLpUfEFmeAdFy6xIAaRiXh2k7So7Fo/1268099504_DSCN3704.jpg?psid=1




Made a linkage on the sash.

It seems that there's enough room for the electronic equipments on the air box.

A close-up of the linkup. :frown: It needs more sanding.

The front cover fits like this. I hope that the cover fits well to the end.

I just agree ...

(Maybe one tip: some of your photos might look better IMO, if you use a single coloured background and not the building-instructions)

Thank you for your comment and tip.

Using the instruction as a background is sort of my trademark. :iceslolan The building-instruction is very easy to reach on my disorderly work bench and implies that it's on the work bench. And.... most people don't use it.

No problem with that, I just meant, that it makes some photos with white parts kind of "turbulent", a grey background would draw the viewers attention more to the parts

Flawless. I am simply stunned every time I check one of your threads.

Thank you for sharing your work with us. You are definitely one of my favourite teachers. :)

Some progress....


Added some details on fuel tank.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pt2MKBe38U-AB9tGOjKR3WeWVkzmw3vyZWw8rPTRX85cNOSMmunN0KfIDrEJ_ qG2xxK6x7I9ueu4/1269261633_DSCN3706.jpg?psid=1




And made the chain. I used the Topstudio's chain set. I think it is the worst to make but the best in detail.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1prsmaiPBChg97FImJlvyUhT_mdgT1c_qblsC5XgdEOG5zWRp o7EhppXNOwQE5bpqMfUZ7cblbsx8/1269261633_DSCN3707.jpg?psid=1

I think it's impossible to disregard those details.



You can see how to make it at http://www.topstudiohobby.com/tips/tip3.htm

the chain looks brilliant, wow!

Thank you friends for your comments.

I don't know which one is harder than the other. I only think bike models are more interesting. :grinyes:

Race bikes are not my preferred (except old ones, he he...) but seeing this one can change my mind. Wonderful.
Rated 5.

Tried to fit the chain to check the length.

It looks too drooped. :headshake





https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pkk4xCmtWXsagI2KTWFnSKXQAiRvghNbByUD9fM8TKOAXA9E x9me3Yqe-rI67Xa5JsVoace3d6_0/1270139215_DSCN3714.jpg?psid=1

You can see the length of the chain.


Instructions said you should make the chain 15cm. However, last time I had made same chain 15cm was too short so it was very hard to fit and looked too tight.

This time I added two nodes(?), and this time it's too long. :eek7:




https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pVAisDd8OQ4pP_E50XNFsRy1ngfjmKqhJohZV9voHE0Yw4Ik G1bIO6sUX22DOuIEzDEDdTCln5O0/1270139215_DSCN3711.jpg?psid=1

Detail is definitely fantastic.

Hi, everyone. Long time no see.


Lots of work but little progress...


Tried to check if the cowlings fit well. However, there's some problem(maybe serious)and it needed lots of correction and sanding.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1parcKjF906Y0p4Z0wKtc8V0fn8FVZKbPuafhqd4cQI-yhGY8WLXkO9y3VHZik2aFXc-ywC0nNCyk/1273160113_DSCN3715.jpg?psid=1



So, big corrections have been almost finished.



Air-intake... Made sill for front cowling.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pCxrJqDt9RLNnFOFZFVgxFaK6eX0jc10zb1xBCtAdReWl39-S23kDF7rwv31ifZY4q04-HWS89tk/1273160113_DSCN3732.jpg?psid=1




And lengthen the inside of front cowling where the air-intake is fit.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pT-w4qy10Ht2e50KSrGdrk2bbXbNapwfh8_0OXRGdAAak83zDrK9s 7Dv4TB6EK5l0UMjneONRyEA/1273160113_DSCN3733.jpg?psid=1




They will be fit like this.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pVh125IsxygJOh8tkpl6XBUvmmicJShODIL-EsrITaE1fT5mNDu1uR9qFNr5W4J-bqIccBaBCRPE/1273160113_DSCN3735.jpg?psid=1




Rear cowlings - A little change with the original part.

And Bolts...

For this project, I'm using lots of bolts from after market, and many of them should be embeded.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pSySwGkk6AANKrTPTlq5ys_wpsw76C7SWDFqdCDDQCZru6M5 IeD4ZR5UFqGrtxMZ_pR0Cvdp2icU/1273160113_DSCN3739.jpg?psid=1

Compare the bolts. THEY SHOULD BE EMBEDED.

Chain tensioner. I used screws and nuts from Tuner Model Manufacturer and they look perfect.

Handle part. It still needs lots of work.

Thank you for watching.

Impresive detail with the screws!
Tou are right, somethimes is a loto of work but the progress is very poor, tis hobby is like that, somethimes you hate more the model than you love it ja ja.

Awesome, I really enjoy your progress threads!

Hi friends.

As usual, very little progress...



Added some detail on muffler joint.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1p9-3f4m-ijhhNqklxGNahhMoB5XiFJVctgQSMQNnAm7klH0DwRcBQDLGGI G7XAXvrEcDij3q5pzY/1274186673_DSCN3743.jpg?psid=1

Can you see it?



Compare it with the original one.

Also added a seam and a joint.

And the radiator's piping is different with the real one, so I changed it.

If you have made this kit you may see the difference.

It took almost 2 hours to add those clamps. But...

Looks nice. :rofl:





And made heel guards. Topstudio released them. So I have saved my money. :iceslolan

Hello, friends. I restarted this one again.

A little update after long time.



As this bike has lots of carbon fiber parts, I've sent many days for CF parts. But many parts still remain to be done.

Some parts need patching.

For the air intake part, I divided the decal into 11 pieces.

Hello!
Adorable, great job!
I have long wanted to ask: how you were made of metal nuts and bolt heads? Or they can be anywhere to buy ready-made?
In Russia, I am certainly not likely to be able to buy it, but the internet works wonders ...

splendid work :thumbsup:

Thank you. I used bolts from T2M or Tuner Model Manufactory. I bought them from internet shop(hobbyeasy.com) in HongKong. Very nice product but quite expensive. :banghead:


splendid work :thumbsup:
Thank you very much for your kind comment.


I'm still applying CF decals. But it's a very boring job.

So I did some painting on cowlings for rest. Applied primer, base white and main color. I painted racing blue, Tamiya's TS51, by air brush.

I like the livery of gauloises very much. I hope I can finish the cowlings without serious accident. :)


I'll be able to apply decals on cowlings in a few days. :)


Thank you for watching.

I started to apply decals.

When I started this project, Tamiya had not released the 2005 season's gauloises version yet. Therefore, I used Tamiya's kit of 2005 Valencia version and prepared after market decal from Studio27. Studio27's decal was printed by cartograf.


But I found.....

The Studio27's decal was very disappointing. :screwy:



The silver part of the stripe should be...

As I couldn't find the better solution, I bought another Tamiya kit of gauloises version. :frown:

In Korea, Tamiya's agent - Tamiya Korea - notified that they will not take order for additional decal in this case. Because I have never purchase gauloises kit from them. :mad:


The Tamiya's decal is very nice as usual. It is also printed by cartograf !

I hate this Studio27's decal but I can use the 'GAULOISES' mark instead of the 'GO!!!!!!!' mark from Tamiya.



I also started to paint engine. I hate this triple colored engine...

I will be able to add plugs and cables soon.


Thank you for watching.

I realy admire your attention to the details and yhe way you proceed with the build. It is fun and pleasure to watch your thread. Very pro decal and CF job.

Thank you for your kind comment. :)

Little progress.....


Painted the muffler with silver and masked the weld lines.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pIt7-KaVRYmIGFilZN1JANKdCbVtWSbufyJAZ96HbaOqo8WcX-gzu6YK25uZMpGcyaclPhdRLelE/1308013833_DSCN3894.jpg?psid=1



Then... applied clear red and clear blue for heat stain, and blackened them with thin black.

However, it's not easy to stop at right point, and it became overkill again.



So......

I cannot but help painting it again.



But this time I chromed it instead of silver.

I set the muffler aside at this point for some rest......



Almost finished engine part. I will start to paint connecters soon.

Thanks. :tongue:


Rear shock-absorber....

This time, I added a sensor.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1petd5gOC3pJ4XW2n7mLo9a0RRIrkXmsFyE8smRJH88aUjK3h y2quy5DPxNEGSVZZPx0ADw9WGlPs/1308149167_DSCN3913.jpg?psid=1

I started wiring.



Painted the connectors first.

As the gloss-black painted connectors are less obtrusive last time, I used 'steel' this time.

And scrape off the paint for better coloring.

https://sn2files.storage.live.com/y1pHapBK6BVgZrQ7DRLs01r5a3Plt1azv3yVEUcdn_HvPeB---Sl4bdHrGdAAwn1poM2rZEhWxOQjo/1308638127_DSCN3914.jpg?psid=1



Made a hole and insert a guide pin for correct positioning and clean adhesion.

After painted the rubber cap parts with flat-black and the ring with each color, glued each connector in correct position.

Finished wiring on the engine.

Some wire looks too thick. Maybe need to be changed.

I can put the engine on the chassis soon.



Thanks for watching and comments are welcome.

The engine looks amazing!!!
I really like your focus on the details of build.
Superb WIP.

Very inspirational to follow the each step and I see good learning opportunities with this WIP!

BTW, the engine looks gorgeous!

Thank you friends. :p
