Thanks to Brad Tate for:

1. Designing this kit!
2. Providing help when I got stuck!

This is one of the most challenging and satisfying kits I have built
to date.

Akira: Finish Line IN SIGHT!

Almost there.

No further problems found.

I'd like this model to be free standing so I'll rig a support stand to
hold it all in place while the wheels are glued to the bike.

Akira: And Round Again.

Second verse, same as the first:

About 4" diameter

Now, let's put a bike between those wheels.

Akira: And the Wheels go round'........

Or at least I hope they do.

The best how-to I've seen on assemblies of this nature is at

Yamaha's site:
http://www.yamaha-
motor.co.jp/global/entertainment/papercraft/advice/0002.html

Rear wheel prep.

Front wheel prep.

And away we go.....................

Akira Update
Main body almost closed.

I started to close the sides from the front of the assembly. In

retrospect, I would recommend the following procedure:
Glue the seatback to part 70.
Glue part 70 to parts 30 & 31.
Slide this assembly on to the main body and glue the seatback to
the seat.
Glue parts 30 & 31 to the main body, working towards the front.

Starting to finish front cowl assembly.

Time to build some wheels.
