Thought i would post a few new pics, i installed the engine in the frame and the rear tire and suspension, Tamiya did a great job of appyling a very natural Aluminuim finish to the subframe and rear suspension but when glued together their is a large seam running down the middle of the swing arm i had to sand most of the finish off and i resprayed it with Testors chrome and
then sprayed it with Testors Metalizer sealer this toned the chrome down enough to look convincing i think, I also tried to get the discolored look of the exhaust system let me know what you think any and all comments welcome.

This looks great Robert. I really like the look you've achieved on the subframe.
The discolored exaust looks pretty good.

Thanks Jesper i wasn't shore if the rear subframe would look good but this was the best i could do without buying some of that alcad paint that stuff is way to expensive, i applied a few decals to the rear fender and the that was on semigloss black paint and they stuck great no silvering it looks like the decals are awsome.

Nice job so far. I echo the blue tone on the exhaust, very nice.

So,how long does it take to build a motorcycle?

Thanks Scott as this is my first bike i wasn't shore how to proceed in several areas but so far i am pleased, to answer your question i think for me the total build time should be no more than 1 month.
