NEAR COMPLETION. GREAT TRICK I LEARNED IN LATE 80'S MAGAZINE CYCLE WORLD "BEST TRICKS FOR QUICK REPAIRS". BAKING SODA AND CRAZY GLUE! APPLY SMALL AMOUNT OF CRAZY GLUE TO CLEAN SURFACE THEN SPRINKLE BAKING SODA ON THE GLUE... UPON CONTACT THE BAKING SODA TURNS HARD AS "CEMENT" AND YOU REPEAT THE PROCESS! IT IS SANDABLE AND PAINTABLE. THIS WILL NOT WORK ON NON POROUS OBJECT SUCH STEEL OR GLASS.... ALSO USED THIS TECHNIQUE TO REPAIR QUITE A FEW BROKEN FAIRING AND PANEL TABS! WORKS LIKE A CHARM! EASY SIMPLE AND QUICK! HAVE FUN!

So had to remove the powder coat entirely from the wing and re- paint it myself! This "Flame Red" is pretty close!

A lot of work done matey, cant wait to see how it all looks together
Indeed! Thank you CaBaRet. I'm almost at the halfway point!!! Well actually maybe 65%!! Didn't realize just how long all this would take compared to my ol 1000f makeover! Should have started in November! So... If everything falls into place, hopefully end of May!!! Stay tuned for more updates and pics!!

Hello fellow fighter pilots! Just a side note. I have no mechanical background as such. However use to be a Mechanical/Civil Engineering draftsmen and also immensely enjoyed R/C airplanes since I was teen(Was also in Air Cadets and later became an Officer...). So working with model planes wrapping them with paper or monoque plastic,detailing etc. Playing with small engines such as ***, O.S. max and other small 49cc engines... I also do carpentry work. So years of this has all come together for both my ol CBR10000F94 and now The New Monster project.

Hello fellow fighter pilots! Update! Well unfortunately still waiting on painted parts.... At this rate I'm looking at end of June. Very disappointing to say the least! Not much more I can do except a few tid bits here there... Last image added are the custom decals. Sweet! The Honda wing tank logo is SICK! Have my graphic artist brother to thank for that one! Basically gave him existing decals and he slightly modified them for me. And will save the wing tank logo for the end, so stay tuned folks!
