Cheers guys. :smiling3:

Simon, do you mean detail up part by DP? If so, then no, they are the kit plastic parts.

Yep thats what i ment, have to say the tubes look amazing can i ask what you used on them? the gold is just like the aftermarket ones
Tamiya mark the instructions with DP ( detailing part) i know there are forks for the 1199 but none available till next month

Thanks Simon.

They were painted with LP48 Sparkling Silver (currently my favourite silver), then overcoated with LP69 clear yellow. The rest of the tubes are just gloss black and silver.

Hi guys, long time no post.

I got tied up with some non-modelling projects so haven't been to the bench in a while. Got back over the last couple of days and pushed on. I really want to get this one done and off the bench, I'm still waiting for the tyre decals to arrive so for now will just have to build without them.

Started with getting the rest of the small parts together and painted.



Then had to deal with the rest of the carbon fibre parts which I had been putting off.



These winglets in particular were a PITA, 13 CF pieces each!



And finally the body panels were flatted and polished.



With that all done I could start putting it together. Just a couple of shots if it at the moment before all this goodness is hidden by the body panels.

Coming along beautifully Bob. It will look superb when you finish.

Well, 10 out of 10 for perseverance. The results are certainly worth all the effort.
