My new build is the 1/12 Tamiya Ducati 1199 Panigale. So in my fashion - I truly love this bike but don't really want mine to look like everyone else's. So I'm thinking of going a different route with this - sorry Not Red or Yellow @Rory.
Hope you enjoy the build

Step one - lets get everything ready for primer and drill out some brake disks and give them some wear and tear.

Great start, @anthonyricco, this is a lovely kit, but both of mine are red, one road bike and one Superbike racer. I wonder what colour yours is going to be?
Thanks George @chinesegeorge - stick around and see. - Maybe this will give you a hint, printing out a test to have masks made to go onto the body panels.
A little teaser.
Looking forward to this great entry, Anthony @anthonyricco This bike looks good in any color.
That is very very true @johnb - will be difficult to make this bike NOT look good.
Amazing entry and great start, my friend @anthonyricco!
That’s one beautiful bike. Enjoy your build, Anthony @anthonyricco.
Man - the best thing about bikes - the engine - so much gorgeous details. I love it.

This seems indeed like fun, Anthony @anthonyricco Very impressive to see this bike getting together, so much details.
I can see why you like this part of the build. Nice work on the forks and seat shock, Anthony. Do you have a 3D printer?
Thanks so much John @johnb - yes this bike is an amazing model - I didn't have to do much at all to get it looking good, its really really nice.
Eric @eb801 - I absolutely love it haha, thanks so much, no I don't have a 3d printer but a friend is printing the tyres for me.
You’re making special tyres for this, @anthonyricco? Way to go.
