Honda Repsol RC211V 2003
Presenting my 2006 Tamiya Model Competition winning model. The Doctor, Valentino Rossi RC211V! Sidetracking a little, he's the world MotoGP champion this year! Congrats to him! Well, this build took me a year and 3 months partly because i was in the army during that time therefore really lack of time. Another reason is that this is one of the build that i classified to be super-detailed as well. I spent lots and lots of time referencing from books and internet while building it. Many of the details were scratchbuild, for e.g. electrical plugs, electrical box, front area of fuel tank, exhaust pipe, exhaust springs, sensors, tubing, hose clamps, on board camera holder, side guard and etc. The bike is filled with studio27 and few other company's photoetched parts, like the clutch, pedals, pedals pad, rear wheel frame, rivets, speedometer and gear chains. Correct patterns of carbon-fibre is applied to the necessary area. For e.g. i use scale motorsport hi-def cf decals for the fuel tank and seat areas while i used the normal weave pattern for the clutch. That's the brief summary of what i have did with this kit.Cheers!
