Hello Marco, nice to meet you here..... my wip is going too slow....some details done but not pictures posted.... I hope in the next days...

[andrew59it]

Yes I know I'm going on veeeeery slow.......
Some details made me loose a lot of time like the wires and connectors....
Painted the rear lights....



just to try them....



polshed the rear cowls..... I have to mask the black area as in reference pictures look like satin and not gloss....



The wires I spoke about before...



the black tube is too thick so I removed it...



and this i what I made more than one month ago.... but I made the pictures only 15 day ago....
Only aluminium on the lower part of the tank and satin clear on the black number plate.... I like the contrast between gloss and satin....

[MarcoMoto]

Beautiful, Andrew! The finish on the tank and seat fairing is
flawless! What brand paint is that? I just acquired this kit, and
will be doing the Lucky Strike Team Roberts version... Wow!

[andrew59it]

Hello MArco
those are zero paint colors covered with 2K clear...
I have the Lucky Stryke too.....

Andrea - what did you use to get the "satin" effect for the black number plate on the tail piece?

It is satin clear ts by Tamiya.... airbrushed....

[andrew59it]

Slowly slowly....
Decalized and painted with 2K the fairing.
Now rivets and the white number in the front.

Very nice Andrew!! I'm always watching your work, admiring it...
I'm tempted to machine a rear shock reservoir on the lathe and send it to you!
Let me know when you start your Lucky Strike version

Really nice work of the front fairing Andrea

did you do any polishing?
I ordered the tech21 Zero paint
John

[andrew59it]

Yes I did polishing.... :^(

[sportracer02]

Great progress

[andrew59it]

A small but important update.... placed the number , and masked the black portion to cover it with semi gloss clear as the rear numbers.... painting is finished , now the rivets....





Glued the tank caps





see you nex time....

[John18d]

Really beautiful work Andrea
I see you are taking your time with this one and it shows in the quality of the build -
This is by far your best bike to date
keep it and the pics coming
Bravo
John

[John18d]

Andrea - did you paint the black number backgrounds or are they the decals??
Someone or even I might have asked before but I do not remember - getting old lol
I know you masked them for the matt clear, but did you also mask and paint the black
Thanks
John
