Those cf details are stunning! I'm curious too regarding the way to paint them. Looking closely the pattern is slightly bent, perhaps the womans stocking trick?!

items needed for the C/F process
a pair of ladies tights
elastic bands
black paint
gun metal/or a bronze paint
airbrush
a pair of laytex gloves

all the c/f process is first paint the parts to be c/f first with black paint then when dry put on the gloves then put the tights over your hand place the part that you are going to c/f between the glove and the tights stretch the tights over the part to open up the weave of the tights not to tight ot the partten will not look right then place the elastic band over your wrist to stop the tights rolling back up keep the airbrush on a low air presure and spray a light dusting on the colour that you want to have the carbon fibre weave you need thenl et dry once that is done you can clear over the parts as it is or i like to tone it down a bit with a coat of tamiya smoke then clear over the result is really convincing if you have complex contours to cover i mask up and do one area at a time it takes a little bit of time but not as much time as c/f decals and it is also cheaper

A little more work has been done the exhausts have been heatstained clear blue orange then smoke have been used


The c/f panels have benn insalled too

The decals have been put on the wheels the bike is sitting a bit low a the momment that is because the damper has not been completed yet there but it is now starting to take shape


The bike is not yet finished and someone has pm me from another model forum site to with a offer to buy the bike off me but have told them that this one is not for sale as this is for another customer all bought and payed for so i have offered to make him another one of these as i have enjoyed making this one the most i might have to do one for me too as all the models i have built and i havent got one to put on display

Lovely shine on that blue! Looking really great all over.

yes i used future for the first in years i have used it on aircraft before now but never on automotive models

[colbro1973]

how did you apply the future, via airbrush? when I used it in the past it never gave the same shine you have achieved!
Great build by the way

A+ for this build. Paint job is flawless and your cf is, as I said earlier, really great too. I for one, love lots of photos so keep them coming on future builds.

yes very light coats about two or three then a wet coat to get the deep shine a little more time to do than zero clear but it is more durable when handling parts
