Tamiya Team Suzuki Ecstar GSX-RR '20

I've tried something a bit different with the brakes. Rather than going for the factory fresh look, I've tried using some oils to make them look like they've done a few laps.

It makes it look a bit more like the actual bike

For the carbon in the middle of the headstock and on the brake shields, I've opted to spray some metallic gray through a gauze rather than use a carbon decal as the weave is so fine on these parts that it's nearly black. A carbon decal wouldn't have looked correct with the scale.

A couple of outdoor shots since it's a nice day

I'm slowly getting there with the body work. I've had a few goes at the decals with softener to get them to lie down and they're just about ready for lacquer.

I got the lacquer on the body panels today. It was near perfect conditions in the outdoor spray booth with no wind or rain. It's my first go at using the Zero Paints lacquer in the airbrush, it's so much better than using the aerosol cans.
