The word "excellent" comes to mind Allan... The "Du (cat) i" turned out marvelous. You're a model building machine my friend... š and your attention to the little details are second to none. The exhaust pipes look very realistic, and the red paint is simply stunning...
Thanks for all of your contributions to our recent "Year of the Cat" GB. Builds like yours made it even better than I ever could have hoped for.

Allan, Looks to me that you went down to the local motorcycle dealership and just took some pictures of the real thing. That's how good this looks ! This is a real beauty, Well done !
Allan J Withers said on October 1, 2018
Thanks Terry, I don't think they'd have these at a dealership !

What - no wings?!
Apparently you have even more skills than I imagined! A very nice bike you finished there.

Spectacular! I agree with Terry: You took a photo of a REAL 1/1 size bike.
Hard to believe that's a plastic model!
