Global Scale Modeller

I decided to build a Yamaha YZF-R1 Taira and instead of putting Semi gloss black on the engine i have put Titanium gold but i am not sure if it looks right.

I am also thinking of spraying the back section of the exhaust Titanium gold as there is a lot of silver on this bike and any critism greatly appreciated.

The only bonus is i have used an airbrush for almost everything and only used a brush on the chain, disc calipers, carbs and the gold covers on the engine.

that looks good what paint did you use for the frame it really stands out

Hi Paul

The frame comes like that straight out of the box and i thought why paint it when it looks that good.

Last night i applied the large decals on the fairing and whilst doing the other side i caught the decal with my hand and tore it really bad so no decals to go on but other than that here it is naked.

I think the Titanium gold on the engine and exhaust looks OK but i seriously hate decals.

Nice work Dave, like it mate

Hi Paul

Thank you for your comments I would say the bike is 99% airbrushed as I am not to good with a paintbrush.

I have a Ducati 1199 Panagale coming and also a Yamaha YZR -M1 Estoril racing and I am dreading the decals on that.

That will be a total of five bikes I will possibly have done and I am lucky as Emodels is about only a mile away from where I live so I can get my paint I need easy.

Ohhh that is looking really nice

Looks very nice Dave:)
I have done the Yamaha YZR -M1 Estoril and decals are not too bad, quite a few but with patience, a lot of Micro sol and heaps of luck they go on fine:)

Lovely job sir!

And I agree, decals are evil=)
