Yamaha YZR-M1 Valencia 2005

[BetoBrazil]

Hello everybody AF!

I'm a Brazilian modeler and my favorites are motorcycles kit scale 1/12.
While monitoring the work of the Forum for a while now, this is the first topic that I display my assemblies.

How not mastered the language, I will use a translator, but I hope you can understand my writing.

Today I share with you my current mount, the beautiful YZR-M1, presented at the end of the 2005 season at Valencia, piloted by Valentino Rossi - already known here in the Forums by other beautiful works.

To start, the kit used and the major enhancements, including the Super Detail-up set of Top Studio. The kit is Colin Edwards but the decals will be exchanged for the VR46.



Here the main reference for how I plan to leave the motorcycle


Particularly for these bikes (M1's), seeing many kits assembled by the world, especially when presented without an enclosure, as in the version I intend to do, a piece especially draws much attention, especially for golden highlights to the engine, which is the cap clutch. Thus, I decided to start applying some technical improvements to this part:

Original part of the tree


Opening of the bolts gradually to maintain a thin plastic along with the new finish


Application of tape in PE with ventilation holes


Order now and perforated PE applied. The plastic center screw was also removed.


Platelet in gold paint and application of light to highlight Clear Orange


Modeling clay mask to receive the new color on body


Paint Gun Metal Metalizer of Model Master


Here components of terminal T2M completion of cables that will replace the screws on the plate


For best finish, the pieces were "polite" in micro-grinding


Difference between the original pieces (3 left) with polished (3 right) with sandpaper 2000)


New "components" ready for mounting. Central axis of hypodermic needles and 1.0mm nut T2M "extended" the bit and painted red and clear. PE rivets already pasted.


Finally the "new" clutch mounted




Comparison




Here an update of the assembly, after the clutch, I decided to face the desk set, handlebars and grips.





































Finally, the first pre-assembly (no screws and PE) with all parts made / worked and comparison with the original parts

Levers open ...


Levers closed ...


Hope you enjoy and that the difference in language does not hinder our knowledge exchange.

As I said, not mastered the language then use a translator for this, but if anyone has any questions let me know that I will be pleased to answer, OK.

Por favor me corrija sobre qualquer erro na escrita. Obrigado!

Guys, new update. Set of handlebars 95% ready, lacking only the reservoirs, wires and cables.
After you run the idea of the hoods, it was time to paint and detail the set screw. Basically all the pieces went to Primm, painting,
drilling and fixing.

The first thing I thought needs to be addressed was the tip of the suspension (canes) on the table, despite being regulated according
to track conditions, the references I have for this race shows that the scale they would be much lower than the reference kit for the
Tamiya FrontFork Set. The parts are aluminum and I decided to lowered.



Compared the pre-assembly



After glued a plate and screws philips PE of 0.7 are posted





Mounting the levers. Spring + shaft + pin.





Final result













To conclude, I thought the best way was to show how the idea of the hoods would be a video. Click on the link to view YouTube.
Hope you enjoy.

That is fantastic!
And how is the PitWalk Collection for 2005? I wanted to buy a copy, but too expensive or hard to find.
I wanted details of the motor, especially behind the cylinder bank.

[modellerone]

hey,
great work,
what spring did you use?

Absolutely brilliant!!!

I can't believe the amazing realism and attention to detail. I think that is the most detailed set of handlebars I have ever seen. Between the clutch, and the handle bars, I think each part will be a model in itself.
