Great progress, my friend @chinesegeorge! Nice attaching of the meshes, as well as of the trunking.
Looks superb so far!
Happy modelling!

That silver carbon finish looks great George, as does the progress so far. I am stunned at the speed with which you are able to complete your models... my Kawasaki is still languishing with a long way to go. Work is getting in the way of my fun!

Looking great, my friend @chinesegeorge! Nice idea to use "unused" paint of suitable color as a primer

Nice progress George, and that is a sexy tank! Love the shapes. Same as me John, still working trying to earn my retirement funding, but about three and a half years to go.

Thanks for sharing the tip on the filler cap, George @chinesegeorge
Personally I would go for the black variant.

As an aside, we don’t get many real motorbikes where I live, partly due to the climate, the temperature doesn’t rise above 0 degs C for four or five months, but also due to the authorities encouraging electrically powered transport. But I did spot this Benelli in our area the other day.

Some of the detailing is gorgeous.

And this little lady is a regular round here.

@rory, @johnb, and Spiros @fiveten, hope you like them and happy modelling.

That Benelli is really great, George @chinesegeorge
Even in the Netherlands with quite a good climate for motorcycles, Benellis are pretty rare.
Never drove such a little ladie, but they seem very practicle for short distances.

Thanks @rory, @johnb, and Spiros. Back to the Ninja. All that remains to be done is the front and side cowlings. They need a coat of white paint and the Trick Star transfers to be added, along with a few other bits and pieces. The transfers were a little tricky, especially around the air intakes.

In fact I messed up one completely and resorted to cutting up one of the ones that I couldn’t work out where it went.

The only thing wrong with the transfer set is the vague instruction sheet.

I couldn’t resist adding Tamiya’s metal Kawasaki markings as well.

I’ll have to wait for the right weather to go outside and take some more pictures before posting it in headlines. Happy modelling.
