Hi all
Here is my most recent update.....
Forks and clocks are now on, as are the pipes and the radiator and hoses. Most of the remaining parts are now undergoing detail painting following spray work.....so here are some pictures...
Front right shot. this shows how poor the screws look.....fit and finish is excellent though.....
Close up of the headstock....Simon had better look away now as I wimped out regarding the plug leads.....just used a hairgrip shape made out of nickel silver wire....I would certainly rig up coils if I ever did this again though....
Another front right image....
Left side was feeling left out.....I have some tubing to fit to this side for brake lines and speedo cable....
Riders eye view of the clocks, a little bit of reflection here, sorry....interestingly, the screw here is disguised with a glue-on bolt....pity we couldn't have those for the other screws......
Saddle done and ready to fit. I went for a polished plastic finish here. This is just the kit part polished with
Tamiya coarse and fine compound, finished with a bare metal foil fitting with a polished pin through it....
Tail and tank finished apart from the detail parts....
Last of the black bits waiting detail painting....
Awful picture of the last of the aluminium bits waiting detail painting.....
Hope it meets with approval.....I must admit I'm really enjoying this......great fun for a few quid....
Cheers
Tim
