Honda Magna 50Fifty (Tamiya 1:6)
Removing of the Chrome with the help of oven spray
Parts without the Aluminium Layer

Glueing the Engine
I filles some bigger gaps and offset with Green stuff. Unfortuanetly that stuffs doesn't hold that good on the surface
Filled some gaps at the carburator with green stuff
I tend to jump some steps ahead in the instructions. I do this to minimize the work with the Airbrush. I try to combine as much parts as possible so i didn't have to switch the color in the Airbrush as much as often if i would stricly follow the instructions.
Some Parts already sanded and prepared for the primer coat
Primer Coat on some Parts. I use vallejo Primer. Black Gloss for Gloss aluminium and Chrome, Black for Flat Alumnium and Metal parts, Grey for Black and dark colors and light grey for light color.
The Engine is ready for the color coat
selfmade bowden cable and carburator overflow.
The bike was aviable in 3 different colors. Black, Max Silver metallica and pearl shining yellow.
In the instruction stated that you should use normal yellow. After priming the parts I used gunze Yellow. To get the pearl effect i used a thin layer of Createx wicked pearl Yellow.

Mike ThomasDang! How did I miss this? Love the paint work! Well, all of the build actually, but that yellow pearl turned out perfect!
Tamiya 1/6 bikes are such a pleasure to build. I just finished the CB750F. I would love to build a few others but my wallet doesn't agree!

Album info
It's a Special Kit for me. I'm driving the big brother a Honda VF 750C Magna. Unfortunatly there is no kit for this Bike. I stumbled upon this smaller version of it a just have to build it. I did take some extra time to build it. Don't want to rush and ruin it.
I'm really happy with the result. I would build it a second time. Just to get a little bit crazy with the painting.
