I made a calibration file that works for me. I get around 5% oversizing on my prints which is fine for my purposes. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5254359 I've found this blog which has some useful advice. https://blog.honzamrazek.cz/ The post regarding light off delay is interesting.

I like how the chain separates to accommodate the sprockets. An idea to uh "borrow".

Love the progress. You should get a Dremel to scratch up the rear disc with circular lines rather than parallel ones. You can also grind the Tamiya screw heads flat to make it easier to place a PE piece over it.

Going nuts with the carbon fibre. Not even all of it.

I think separations like that are caused by the plastic cooling too much and causing a boundary that doesn't bond properly. I've have paintjobs split along those lines long after the model is finished. Now I brush on Tamiya extra thin generously to both sides to try and prevent that. Covering it with decals don't really help as it splits the decals as well.

Gunze super metallic super fine silver is very nice. That and Tamiya sparkling silver are my choice for frames.

2021 Suzuki GSX-RR. It's almost guaranteed as it just requires a new decal sheet.

Wow I'm not even mad. You sir have the eyes of a hawk. That is entirely correct.

Temueras been eating too many pies and Ming Na Wen is no Michelle Yeoh.

Very nice. Just pre-ordered it. I have the ED-209 kit in my stash to build.

Printed some levers for the interior.

I have the set but have not used them yet. It's not unusual for MotoGP teams to use the same suppliers. The wheels are made by Marchesini. To fit them on the Honda you would simply have to modify the centre hub. I bought these in 2009 so several years before the Tamiya kit.

You can save yourself a lot of trouble by just buying Top Studio wheels.

That is a great pearl orange.

That would be great. If not for this example then a future build. I also have the Pacchetto Tempesta version to build.

Nice build. I built one before long ago but I'd like to build another one to match my R1M.

Thanks for the comments. Now with added shifting. 🙄

Heat staining looks great. Nice work.

Just sneak this into the end of 2021. Decals from Blue Stuff and detail set from Top Studio. A bit of build progress here. Typical Tamiya quality, super easy kit.

Nice choice. It's a sweet kit.

I think I cracked the box open back in September.

On the odd humid day I've had spots of water spitting out and ruining a day's work. Since adding this attachment I haven't had any problems. Check your moisture trap regularly. Queensland would be have more sunny days than not, so great for painting year round. I suspect your issues with the clear is paint based. From my experience acrylics feel soft and rubbery and don't polish well.

I sprayed everything with a 50/50 mix of gloss and matt. It is a bit on the glossy side. Maybe 60/40 matt to gloss would look better.

Thanks for the comments. I did a lot of google research on the interiors because the kit is so detailed and everything opens up. All the detail work done can be seen afterwards unlike most other kits. Most of the car is carbon so weave direction is also really important and visible. Finished door cards and attached 3D printed shock assemblies. Looking at it I wish I did something about the brake discs.

Watching with interest as I have the Advan version in the stash.
