Thanks Macio!
Your photos are also good if not better.

Sprocket made ​​for me my good friend. He is very good at this.

How does that rear tires stay inflated with so much of the bead missing on the wheel?

Excellent work. The weathered wheel is amazing - really looks like broken metal! Awesome modeling.

[M.Boy]

Thanks!

Maybe inside there is innertube


EDIT.
I trimmed fairings







I have to enlarge the holes


Photo borrowed from ścigacz.pl

after preliminary grinding



and bigger holes



I did the front again



fairings sanded on the inside



for comparison with the fairings of the box









after primer

[M.Boy]

I did the structure which protective engine















This is not the end I have to do the side bars.

[M.Boy]

Side bars made of aluminum plates 0,5mm thickness











There are several imperfections of Tamiya kit
this is one of them



Cover of the sprocket near the engine is almost hidden behind the frame and in fact should protrude





construction does the job, engine is safe

Awesome build, you're making me want to get back to building a couple bikes I started, but never finished.

[YongGun Park]

I cannot but help loving your WIP. GREAT.

[M.Boy]

I did't plan to do decal with sponsors but a colleague Miguel suggested that will do it for me.
A few pictures from the formation of decals





Thanks Miguel!

Photo story about the welding

[sjelic]

Amazing work and details, I love it.

[M.Boy]

Thanks!


This time I did a little something

in 1:1



and by tamiya



what I mean?
about this rivet or what it's there is.
I do not want to paint so I made from scratch











small unimportant thing but looks better

[sebasoakley]

excellent job.
The decals designer Maskdecals is an very good artist, the success and great finishing is ensured.

[M.Boy]

At the lower fairing on the photo you can see that such elements are used to assemble the two halves together







I thought I would try to do something similar.
I used a brass plaque



at this moment fairing are painted with gray and white primer and then painted base color

[sportracer02]

Simply great stuff !!

You have an eye for details and manage it to reproduce them on the model

[M.Boy]

Thanks!

Next I start rebuild rear light
