slippers Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 This was the Tamiya 99 kit which - just like their 98 kit - is actually based on the 97 bike. Quite annoying that the water manifold; ECU and silencers are wrong. I did cut the silencers down as much as I dared but they're still too long, and this led to the top silencer on the side being skew-whiff. My first build using some Top Studio extras. Fairly pleased but still much improvement to be had. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slippers Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Thank you to all for your complimentary comments. 👍 5 hours ago, veg said: Brilliant looking bike you’ll need to build the yzr now.👍 Finished another Biaggi bike last year - 01 YZR. Unfortunately, the red has bled through the white decals now. This is still awaiting decals. I'm hoping to print some myself to end up with Noriyuki Haga's wildcard YZR entry for Suzuka in 98. Nori finished third (second until the final chicane) and Max won on the subject bike of this thread. Edited August 13, 2021 by slippers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filbert_Wang Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Wow that absolutely excellent (both of them in fact) Top Studio extras you say. Do they do complete Decal kits then? I am currently working on a Yamaha YZR500 (Abe, 2000 I think) - is that Biaggi Yamaha kit based off of the same kit do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your kind words (the out of alignment silencer really rankles me). The decals are this set, from Reji. https://www.spotmodel.com/product_info.php?products_id=49192&language=en Generally okay but a few had lighter patches and a sort of furry finish. The Top Studio gear was just the exhaust kit (springs, end plates, mounting plate, tips) and a fair few nut and bolt ends. I've stocked up on quite a lot for my next kits: clutch, gear linkage, footpegs etc. Your kit will be one of those YZRs in my post. The naked one is actually the Abe 99 kit, but there's also an Abe 01 kit (same as the Biaggi kit). Check the front brake calipers, you'll see they are different for each YZR. Good luck with your build. I'll hope to see it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
