                  This is looking really good. I love the clean finish you achieve, and that engine especially is superb.

                            Afternoon all.

                            So I've spent a lot of time over the past week on decals. This was quite slow going for some of them as they were multi part and had to be matched up.





                            There were also quite a few CF decals for the frame, swing arm and cowl which proved to be a pain as they kept splitting. I find this strange as I used Studio 27 CF for the Kawasaki H2 Carbon and had no issues. Still, they look good when done.



                            And I had around 20 screw/bolt head decals to install which take an age to lay over the hemispherical bumps on the kit.



                            I'm going to leave that all a couple of days then get the gloss coat down. In the meantime it's back to sticking other bits together.
