Assembled fuel tank and frame. Cleaned up remaining parts on sprues A and

98/09/01
Assembled crankcase and cylinder head and wheels. The sprockets were
painted with Testor's Aluminum Plater Metalizer and the chain was painted with Tamiya X-19
Smoke to bring out the detail and add an oily appearance. |
98/09/02
Not much done, only assembled front brake assembly and part of front
forks
|
98/10/04
Primed all the body parts with Floquil Reefer White
|
98/10/12
Applied the Testor Metallic Sapphire Blue to all the body parts
|
98/10/18
Polished all the parts painted Sapphire Blue with Tamiya's
Rubbing/Polishing Compound and it worked great.
Once polishing was finished, I assembled the complete front fork, rear shocks and other
some other minor assembly. I also began preparing the numerous chrome parts by removing
from the sprue and touching up when necessary with a Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver paint pen.
