Looking great so far, my friend @bikequeen! Indeed the two reds look fantastic!

@chinesegeorge Yeah me too, I discovered Italian red when I dod my first Ducati :). And yeah I guess I do work fast, it’s because I dont have a life :). This will be kit number 37 for this year….keeps me happy 😉

Some of yesterday’s updates (12/09). Got some sub assemblies done. I’m loving the contrast of the black and red and I’m having a field day detailing all the bolts on the engine as it’s black, the other 2 Honda’s were chrome so bolt heads couldn't really be detailed. Managed to dry brush the Honda logo on the rear caliper , a skill I never quite got a handle on 😉

So here are yesterdays pics

Very nice progress, Cricket @bikequeen
The battery looks very much like a real one.

Sorry for long delay in updates but its reaching the Checkered Flag so to speak 🙂

Bunch of photos …. There is an oil cooler on the front and the tubing Tamiya included was junk (pic attached) i tried to find other tubing in my stash but it was not long enough to run the whole length needed so I broke out the braided hose (GULP) i bent to the shape I need and soaked it with CA glue…what a mess :). After it dried I pieced it in place by cutting the nipples where it would attach, drilling a tiny hole and inserting some brass wire, then using CA glue i did one connection at a time and using the small bits of rubber tubing at the cooler. Worked well. There are photos of that and some other process photos. More later today

Fairings are done and decaled no photos yet they went on well and smooth…this is a GREAT kit and maybe one of my best yet. I still have some screw heads to paint and then the fairings which will be sad because they will hide so much detail
