Roca, stunning work! But please humour me and tell me hich kit(s) you bashed for this and where you got the decals. Absolutely loved this bike and can't remember a kit of it having been released...

I agree, I think it was one of the coolest looking bikes on the grid.  I too am curious as to which kit(s) you are using and what your references are.

Looking very good so far, please keep us updated!

Hi!! Thank's guys! i'm sorry , the parts used are:
The rear cowl from the Yamaha M1 (Biaggi version) from Heller
The side panels from Yamaha M1 Biaggi version (Heller)
The front cowl from the Suzuki RGV500 with to the side panels and lower cowl
Wheels marchesini and tires from the M1 (Tamiya)
Front and rear suspension from M1 (Tamiya)
Engine from the Yamaha M1 (Tamiya) modified to make the original version (3 cilinders innline , clutch and other pieces will be in scratchbuild
The rear arm from the Suzuki RGV 500 (Tamiya)
maybe other pieces in scratchbuild and the decals will be done by me using a photo editor program , i will try to do it with my current printer but i was having problems with SuperCal papers so i will try MicroMark.

The references that i'm using are the book of Pit Walk photo collection
http://www.hlj.com/product/MDG22880 MotoGP Racers Archive 2004
One video that shows all the part of the bike
And a few pictures from the Web and the official motogp website.

Thank's for all i will try to update soon

I was looking at some of your other work, namely your Yamaha M1.  Would you mind if I emailed you some questions on what you did for certain parts? 

Fantastic builds!

Ok no problem! you can contact me at rocamodels@lycos.com

Fantastic...

You are really making stunning progress on this one Roca! I didn't realize that there were so many kits involved in this bash mania of yours ;-) From what is visible up til now this will be one hell of a kit when done. In my opinion you shall be proud of what you've already acomplished!

Best regards

Joel

The seat cowl is very soft

Looking good!

What method of seam removal do you use?  Also what kind of putty are you using for your alterations?

 

Thanks!

Thanks Erik to remove i use a thread and the knife and the putty that i use is tamiya putty and this:



The engine has been started



This is the original

The red square indicates that this piece is not finished and will be remodelled (longer in the In the end of the exit of the megaphone and a bit more thinner)

At the risk of repeating myself - awesome! Keep going Roca, your work is an inspiration!

Thank's SeaBee





The grey part is not finished

the seat cowl does not fit to the frame in the pictures because i have placed a rod between the seat cowl and the rear arm to take the photos.

Thanks for all ;)

Bye!!

Roca.
