Suzuki GT380

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A mishap: the kit decals lost opacity after shooting the gloss clear from Zero paints. I still don't know why, but anyway, I managed to rectify the problem by printing new decals and applying them on top of computer cut plain white decals. For this, I had to scan a set of decals from a second kit and draw the decals and the cutting files on the computer with the scan as a background. Tedious but it was worth the effort! 

This photograph found on the internet inspired me for the color scheme (although it is a slightly older model still equipped with a front drum brake). 

This was my full size bike, not a GT380 but a GT550, which I had customized with a Giuliari seat, twin air horns, a racing handlebar and special paint, using amongst others, some leftover metallic blue from my Opel GT repaint, subject of another project and album here on scalemates. I sold the bike in the early eighties. Still regret it...
