Suzuki GSXR 750 - Hasegawa

[cor]

Getting ready to start this bike. I used to ride around on one in my early twenties, back in the early nineties. Amazing bike. Great looking model from Hasegawa.

The rider model was given to me to test my skills, so I hope I can make a cool little diorama or display.

FYI - Image hosting - Ive switched to imgbb for image viewing because of the imgur issues - the images may take a bit longer to load

Images loaded just fine. Looks like a nice kit. Good size too.

Having the rider on there is just going to be so cool. Will you be doing a small racing track base as well ?

He's run out of petrol and pushing it to the garage. My friend had one when I had a GPz900r in the 80's. It was a thirsty girl and this happpend to him.

Not sure yet. maybe just a clear stand, maybe some kind of concrete or asphalt. time will tell.

Mine was quite fuel efficient. From very long distance to city riding, never had an issue.

Im glad they load for you. Its a pretty good site so far. Prob run out of space later and have to cough up.

Assembled engine and frame

PE bolt heads glued on in various places

roughened up the weld marks. These were just flat. Surprising as the rest of the kit looks to be very well detailed. Probably better than the Tamiya bike kits Ive recently built













Im also thinking of this rider as an alternative. Both would look cool, the bike would be quite tilted with this guy on but it would look very dynamic.

better late than never. hope you enjoy the show.



Engine installed in the frame. Heat shrink tubing used instead of the kits thicker tube. Stretched the heat shrink stuff out to make it scale appropriate thickness.

Bit of touch up needed here and there, but its looking like an engine in a frame.

The frame silver was not very good, so I dabbed a bit of Tamiya sparkling silver over the visible bits to shine it up a bit.
You can see the difference comparing the engine holding frame to the rear seat frame, which wasnt touched up - its a bit duller.

Added the plug leads, battery and rear wheel arch, plus a couple of tiny decals. Most of the rear end will be hidden under the rear seat and cowl. Nice detail though.

That's coming together nicely.

My sisters BF had one of these back in the 80's, got stolen at the Chelsea Cruise.

Bit of work on the pipes. They're just test fitted for now.
