Very tidy. You should have no problems with the fine details looking at this. Looks great ;)

All i can sugest is a very fine brush and a lot of patience, it looks like your painting skills are easily up to it. Also using Maskol might help?

Great news Ian, we are not so lucky here in the UK, not great support for Tamiya replacement parts :-[ The bike is looking good, nearly at the finish line. ;)

Ian, i have just had a look through my stash and i have the Yoshimura Hayabusa X-1. not sure is the sprue is the same but i am willing to let you have it if you want, PM me if want it, can' t have you not finish this now that you are half way there. Jay

Not Cool, this has happened to me once or twice with ebay kits, very frustrating :-X

Looks like you totally nailed the seam this time, nice work. :) keep it going, this is gonna be a nice bike when finished.

I second that Adam. It happens almost every time. I have found that superglue and baking powder works best, it does take a bit more filing/sanding but it does give a better fill then finish off with tamiya primer and very fine sanding sticks. ;)

Looking great so far Ian, nice touch with the silver marker it covers up those annoying black patches really well, i will have to try it out ;D Can't wait for the next update. Jay ;)

Great link, beats looking at hundreds on stills to try and find that one bit of detail that always eludes you. ;)

Great job, very clean build and loving the little detail additions. ;) looks like you stripped the frame and re-painted as well? Jay

Thanks Chris, it was a struggle but got there in the end ;) Gag, i will give that a go and see what results i can get, thanks for the tip. Jay :)

Thanks for the comments guy's. :) Gag, yeah it is a technique i'm trying as i have seen it done a few times but not 100% sure what medium to use? tried thinned Tamiya clear, it injects fine but as you point out it starts to develop air pockets. Any ideas? Thanks, Jay

FINISHED!!! at last :) It's taken a while and tested me all the way but finally I am finished with the Trio. Just a quick pic but i will pload the rest durin the week. Meet the Three Amigo's. And at home with their older brother (last model i built over 10 years ago before returning to the...

I remember reading this last year on Sci-Fi Model Action about Round 2 so thought it may be worth adding it to this thread. If this is not accurate i appologise ;) At Wonderfest 2012, the question was asked if Round 2 still had the license for the new Trek films and Jamie said they did not...

Hi Guys, this is the latest update, Nearly finished (finally!!!) ;) Thanks for the tip Adam, it cleaned it up a lot but the damage was too much to totally correct it, so a little artistic licence and it doesn't look to bad now but you'll have to wait for the final pics to judge for yourselves...

OK, two pieces of advice, first, do not spill acetone anywhere near a painted part, or you end up needing to strip it and start again >:( second, always check all the parts when you buy a second hand kit off ebay and it states new and unstarted (believe it or not people lie???.) It looks like...

Thanks LGB82. Adam, try crazymodeler.net, studio 27 or Tamiya's own detail-up sets. There are a few more rarer but parts are hard to come by. Hope this helps. Jay 8)

Hey Adam, thanks for lookin in. Awesome, i will follow with interest :). Think my next bike will be a Kawasaki as i got a few extras for the kit. :o

Congrats John well deserved. Some nice pics there and some interesting subjects, awesome background for some of them with the planes just setting them off. ;D Jay
