jimmysze Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 hey man nice clean build you have going on here, I'm also working on the same model so perhaps I'll put up my build soon. I have enjoyed watching your WIP keep it up fella! Thanks! Please share Fantastic build. Love it ! Congrats, Jamme Thank you! So i was planning to use tamiya TS-38 gunmetal for the body panels but the metallic flakes look really coarse. Anyone have experience with Zeropaints Ducati Grey (Grigio Scuro)? whats the flake like? Got the display/cluster finished and mounted. grip/lever also painted and installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david v Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hi Jimmy, zero paints are the ones to use, I have the grigro scuro and its got no flake at all, you will find most of the guys here including myself use Zero paints all the time, as they are unbeatable for colour matching and spraying. If you give Steve at Hiroboy a ring he will answer any questions you may have. The bike is looking really good,and im looking foreward to seeing it finished.

I just tried to order it from Hiroboy but they won't ship to Hong Kong!... probably because it's a flammable. Trying to find a local source now... So the kit calls for 'brembo' decals on the calipers... instead i took X7 + X20 for a more realistic approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggers Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Way to go with the Brembo.... Have you tried http://shop.spotmodel.com/index.php?cPath=260_263_440&osCsid=sb87leu3cppjo96n0dla2260q6 for your Zero paints? I'm sure he'll send to Hong Kong....

Also painted and installed the left and right liner (with battery box etc) im still searching for the zeropaints so i can get started on the fairings and other body parts... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Looking very good Jimmy, it's a pity nobody is making SBK decals for this kit... Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmysze Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Agreed! I wouldn't mind building this kit again FYI. I have to replace the rubber tubing that tamiya supplies. The one from the kit tends to kink and rip really easily. Just a heads up for people building this kit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggers Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Jimmy, those "nubs" for the brakes looks like they'll easily be cut & drilled ready for a .68mm hose? Just a thought......... ATB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noeyedears Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 i use stretched heatshrink tube for the brake/clutch/sparkplug cables. you can stretch it until you are happy with the size and it is much easier to route than wire. another good thing is the thin rubber cord used in jewelry making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imster Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Wow really nice work on the front fairing, do you have any advice on how you did it? I have heard about using pantyhose to recreate CF but havent seen a reasonable tutorial on how to do it. In regards to zero paints, I ordered some from Spotmodel, I'll let you know how I got on as I live in Australia so might be a good indicator for you in HK. As for the hoses and pipes I found model factory hiro do some good gauge tubes mainly clear ones so you would have to paint them. I will put my build up soon when I get a chance, its mostly done so I might just copy and paste the WIP from another site I am on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmysze Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 What.....these ones?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-12-Alstare-Ducati-WSBK-2013-C-Checa-upgrade-decal-ducati-panigale-/201170093119?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item2ed6ac043f ATB What have you replaced them with? TBH, they're always on the large size the brake & clutch pipes..... ATB Oh man, those decals sound pretty good since they say no need for softener. But US$47 is a little steep... I still haven't figured out what to use yet for the brake and clutch lines.... i'm looking at black electrical wire right now but might give the stretched heat shrink a try and the .68 hose.

Layed down semi gloss black as a base coat. Then i stretched the pantyhose (20 den) over the fender and pulled it down towards the bottom of the skewer and taped it down. i had to pull certain areas tighter so it would stay close to the fairing, then i just added more tape to hold it down. I mixed 1:1 gunmetal and aluminium silver and sprayed over top. it's better to lay down a few more coats to ensure good coverage. then remove the pantyhose and sprayed matt clear black over top.... this is where you can tint the silver down to look like CF. i had to try this on some water bottles a few times which is always a good idea. I went on spotmodel but couldn't find the 1199 Senna color... maybe they're out of stock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Juan a message, he's a lovely guy who's sooooooo helpful. ATB.... Oh yes, brake & clutch lines? .68mm braided fishing line in grey. IIRC, it was 150lb breaking strain....loads on eBay! Have fun.......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What lovely paints Tamiya enamels are, including the metallics... The Senna scheme is quite popular these days, this guy in Japan has done a Senna rep plus an even nicer Mike Hailwood rep. I was planning on doing too ... Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
