Great work, pictures a little soft to see details on my phone but it looks like a good update. What paints are you using on the fairings?


I have subscribed to the thread, look forward to more updates

You don't need an airbrush with those cans, they do a great job. Looking forward to more of this.


If you decide to buy an airbrush at some point I have a small practically brand new compressor for sale on here that would save you money and is a half decent make compared to a cheap one off eBay.

What's your interest now then, mixed out sticking with bikes for a bit...

[Guest]

main interest is 1/12 bikes,but i am thinking of giving some military stuff a go,probably from tamiya and in 1 /35 scale,i still have a few bikes in the pipeline,Hasagawa yamaha 1988 and 1989 500 yzr's,tamiya yamaha yzr 500 from 1983 with the riding figure of Kenny Roberts and a tamiya conversion of the yzr 500 from 1998 ridden by Norick Abe
