Hi Andy,
Just had a good catch up. Some lovely work going on the chain looked a right pain.

Very slow progress I am afraid as the decals I am working with just refuse to take so I am having to do them one at a time sticking them on with a pva/water mix. This means I can not handle the part until it dries completely in case I ruin the decal so I have started another build to do in between sessions with the bike but fear not it will be along shortly, I hope.

Andy.

Well done for sticking with it....

A bit of a test fit to see how it looks.

This model continues to fight against me, there are a set of decals for the white section of the tailpiece but they will not stick around the curves and the cut outs so I just masked it and painted it, looks OK but I will probably have a similar problem with the white part on the fairing front and if I have to paint that it will mean a lot of masking to cover the whole fairing to avoid any overspray. Talking of the fairing, that will be fun to fit as it is one piece and you have to spread the sides to slip it over the frame/ engine unit and then fit the forks afterwards.

Look forward to seeing it with the fairing on,nearly.there mate,the hard works paying off nicely.

For a kit that's giving so much grief, it's looking really good.

The original MHR Ducati's had a one piece fairing like that. Yes, the full-size ones!

Looking really nice now ! Are you going to put race numbers on too?

There are no numbers with the kit and searching through my old decals I have nothing that will do and as my signwriting skills are none existant there will be no numbers on it.

Andy,
Looking good .

[outrunner]

Fairing painted and I did get the front decal to take eventually. Not the best finish, I need to get more practise with Tamiya rattle cans.

I will have a go at fitting the fairing tomorrow, something to look forward to. :anguished:
