RC211V-06 No69

[Duncan1098]

This is a kit I built a couple months ago, but thought I would post as a work in progress, as it is a shame just to post finished photos. It was my most challenging build to date, but good fun.
I used the Studio27 trans kit, Crazy Modeler photo etched set, and the Top Studio wiring set.





more to follow when I sort the photos out

sorted some more photos, the detail on the Studio27 set is very good and very accurate to the Hayden bike, the engine detail, the over sized rear brake, the different frame.

What are those references? Part of something or bought separately?

Nice work by the way, love the "real" look of the engine and frame, frame tho look a bit to dark, maybe because of light.

Hi sjelic
The reference of the detail is about the Studio27 set which I bought
separately from the Tamiya kit. The frame is just white metal, that I cleaned up with different grades of polishing paper.

Aaaah, I get it, white metal, that is why it looks like real metal Fantastic!

Good of them to include references.

Duncan:

Was your ST27 Frame tweaked, or mis-shaped?

[Roca46]

This is gonna be a beautiful and very real build. It seems that this zero custom paints are very very close to the real ones. What paint did you used on the engine?

I can't wait to see more pictures!!

Update the thread soon.

Hi 69*goat
Yes the frame took alot of re-shaping to get it all to fit together, it took a few hours to get the frame together and the engine to fit in, great fun!!
Hi Roca46
I used AlcadII for the engine, steel and pale burnt metal

Few more photos, a start on the wiring, and the exhausts. and rear wheel in.

Superb job. Looks like you got nothing less than needed to do the best, and you're using those aftermarket stuff great. I'll follow.

[davesans]
