Pink Panther's Kawasaki ZX-10R

[Guest]

I’m a little crazy, I don’t exactly how many threads and builds have on the way.... But here I am!!

The important is don’t lose the calm.

The first thing I can say when you open a Japanese kit is.... well, it turns like a surprise box, and very pleasant certainly!

Inside you can find any kind of things, like fantastic instructions ( in Japanese ), bright publicity or an impressive folder!!

Talking about the kit, looks ok. The chassis and all the pieces seems to be very good moulded and clean.

It’s my first ever bike, but I’m not nervous!! Maybe the only thing keep me ‘worried’ is the decal work, looks a difficult challenge..... don’t lose the calm again!

Regards

Polux

Hi Polux.......... That looks great. The Fujimi kits are really very good. Lots of detail. The Decals on a bike can be tricky. Take a look at my Austin Powers Repsol Honda in my Gallery........ That one was a bitch.

Good to see you on the GB with this one .............. I'll look forward to the result.

Love the box art, mouldings look nice and crisp, I'd say comparible to tamiya looking at the pics, thing I find that helps with bike builds is lots of dry fitting to make sure everythings going to fit OK, (as in, some bits NEED to go on before others), painting in sub-assemblies helps too.

Stock up on Microsol and cuss words for thos decals, :P

I'm sure that you will do it justice Polux.

Hi friends!

Maybe because today I see a MotoGP race.....I decided to start this built!

I don't like specially to paint all the pieces one by one.... but the major part of the chassis are primed and painted in black colour (some parts with matt and others with semi gloss varnish).

The quality of the kit is not great.... I have to drill all the brakes for a nice look (0,5 mm).

Thanks for looking
