Suzuki Ecstar GSX-RR, Tamiya, 1/12

[roland66]

Just finished,

....... Tamiya's Suzuki Ecstar GSX-RR from the 2020 race year.
Rider - and team world champion in MotoGP 2020. Rider Joan Mir (ESP) won the world championship with 7 podiums.

The technical data of the Suzuki GSX-RR:
Dimensions (length/width/height): 2,096/720/1,140 millimeters.
Wheelbase: 1,457 millimeters
Engine: water-cooled in-line four-cylinder four-stroke engine with overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder
Displacement: 1,000 cubic centimeters
Power: more than 169 kW (230 hp)
Top speed: more than 330 km/h
Transmission: cassette gearbox with six gears
Frame: Aluminum profile frame
Tires: 16.5 inch
Suspension: Öhlins front fork, Öhlins rear shock absorber
Brakes: Brembo carbon brake discs front, Brembo steel brake disc rear

The build was challenging, a disaster in places, from peeling paint, to stubborn decals, to mismatched 3D printed parts, and a fresh carbon decal set with breaking decals. Garnished with Number 5 clear coat, which cures by 2K, can be sanded, but not polished with sanding paste.

But now for the pictures.

Holy Schmokes dude!! Despite all of your troubles, that turned out frickin' AWESOME!!! I'm no bike guy but I do know a well-built model when I see it---particularly after everything you went through to see this one through to completion.

Very nicely done.
I have this one on the go at present, marvelous kit and you've done it justice.

A little too modern for me but can certainly appreciate a nice piece of work, well done.
