| BMW R69S This is the second in the series of Gunze Sangyo High Tech models that I have completed. They are challenging to put together, but result in exceptional models. There was a lot of additional detail added to the original kit and the only thing I should have replaced was the seat, which seems oversized and doesn't sit quite right. Base Kit(s): Gunze Sangyo BMW R69S (kit number 621) Finished: Sep 2011 Modifications/Additions: - spoke nipples (vinyl tubing) added - rear wheel axle and axle tightening nut - oil dipstick top - upper engine mount - springs, rods and details for rear brake mechanism - top of rear shocks and front forks machined from aluminum - clutch mechanism added (I know, it's backwards on the photos) - lots of Scale Hardware simulated and threaded bolts, nuts and screws. - rechromed exhaust pipes, handlebars and air intake tubes (done by ChromeTech USA) - paint is Tamiya gloss black lacquer, airbrushed and various Alclad II metallic paints Awards: Toronto Model Car Show, Toronto, ON Sep 2011, 2nd place Motorcycles Ajax XXXI, Ajax, ON October 2011, 2nd place Motorcycles Kingston Modelrama, Kingston, ON, May 2012 - 2nd place motorcycles Click on Thumbnail to see detailed image.
