Parts are coming in slowly, still waiting on the Tamiya Detail-Up forks set and the “Kawasaki” green 🙂 paint. I did get the Top Studio Super Detail set and at first I was disappointed as there was nothing fro the front wheel brake rotors, so I will have to do some creative “fixing” there.

Upon further inspection the Top Studio (TS) parts are heavy into wiring harness’ and nano connectors that will have to be drilled out. At first this would be intimidating but having had experience with TS before i know the pitfalls. SO I’m ready.

Crude but here is the start of the wire harness

They include shrink tube that is supposed to be stretched and inserted into a large piece of shrink tube but when the latter piece is heated they all shrink so I went with other wire that is the same diameter but weird colors :). They also have very thin solder used as well…guess what happens when it’s heated 🙂

Anyway….here we are so far, like I said it looks crude and I need to add the connectors in some of the lines

Going to start the engine next

@brithebuilder thanks Brian it’s PITA so far but coming along the next part of the harness is going to be interesting

Nice start, Cricket @bikequeen
The electronic wiring looks impressive.

Wow, Cricket @bikequeen, they’re incredible.

That is serious micro scaling modelling, Cricket @bikequeen
Looks amazing.

Yes, but YOU know it's there and that's all that matters. "It's all in the details."

@jdtruby @fiveten thanks John and Spiros I appreciate the comments :). A lot of work on this beast!
