Sorry Bob, completely missed this. That really is looking very good indeed, a top top finish.

And at least you don't have to worry about weathering like those of doing armour do!

Keep up the great work.

Cheers Andrew.

Even though I seem to be doing a lot of bikes recently I still consider myself mainly an AFV modeller. Saying that, it's easier to slap a load of mud or rust on something to hide a mistake than it is trying to get a perfect finish.

A lot of people can get a great finish to the eye but your finishes are just as good with a close up camera shot! Great stuff mate.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Mark.

Afternoon all.

Another post, another load of carbon fibre parts.



Thankfully this is almost all the CF, there's just a few parts left for the handlebars.

Also got the front wheel and shocks done, just painting the handle bars now so should be able to get the front end on shortly.

[Mr Bowcat]

Afternoon all.

Almost completed this one. Finished putting the front end together and installed.





And got the rear end/seat fitted along with various covers, foot pegs, etc.





Just the rest of the bodywork to go on and I'll stick pics in the gallery.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Si.

No, aftermaket mate. I think I got it from Spot Models.

[Mr Bowcat]

This is looking fintastic Bob.
Those CF decals look like a lot of fun.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Ian.

They were trickier to work with than the decals for the Kawasaki (despite being the same brand), but with a good soak in hot water, liberal applications of solvent and use of a hot air gun they eventually complied.

Calling her done.
