With the R1M on hold, I thought I'd open this thread as I've finished all the fairings with the 2k clear going on today. Here's where I'm up to.

Yes they did mate. Took me a while to get my head round the masks as both designs for different years are implemented on the same sheet lol.Image

The model is looking great.

I'm sorry, but my '02 black and blue was the best looking one ever made.

Well after almost 12 months of not doing any modelling, my mojo is finally coming back. I've picked up on this Hayabusa as there isn't that much left to do on it. Although I'll be taking my time still so I don't burn myself out again lol.

I am however, wanting to get it done for December as I'm really excited for the release of the Suzuki gsx-rr moto gp bike. :D

It's good to be back! :dance:

Back into the swing of things now. Engine completed and fixed to frame. Dry fit with radiator looks great.
