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.

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.

Dang! 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!

Thank you for the compliments. I'm happy with the yellow. Still have some problems wth the chrome parts. I tried different colors but until know every color becomes dull after a clear coat

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.
