          I've learned a couple more things during this build.

          - I found a way of putting on those wheel rim decals that actually works. I really struggled with them on the last one. I now take the decal completely off the backing paper and place it onto the wheel using tweezers.

          - If you put too much heat into a Tamiya decal using the hair drier then the whites will start to yellow, so be careful.

          - Always airbrush the lightest colours on a part first.

          - I think I'll try undercoating the fairings next time.

          - it's a waste of time trying to brush paint Tamiya paints without the correct Tamiya X20A thinners.

          That's not an exhaustive list and it's probably stuff that you guys know anyway. Hopefully the next bike will be mistake free!!
