Not much touching up needed, Ian @ij001, it’s looking pretty neat.

Looking really great, my friend @ij001!

Excellent work Ian, your snakes having group s*x... fantastic and well worth a laugh! The decals look a lot more vibrant than the box art...looking great!

Two light coats of Tamiya TS13 (I LOVE this stuff - never lets me down), thirty minutes apart. Then an hour later a 'wet coat' . After that the fairings were put into a sealed plastic box for four days to fully cure. Polished with 1500 & 2000 Tamiya polishing pads, then restored with three-part Tamiya polishing compounds (no ceramic wax tho' we don't seem to be able to get that here).

Unfortunately it's clouded-over today so couldn't take 'sunshine pics'. Haven't yet done the front fairing, hopefully tomorrow, but there's a stack of real-world stuff in the way !

Cheers from Middle Earth.

Wow Ian, that looks fantastic... really great job! Not sure about middle earth Ian, my daughter lives in Auckland, very very far from South Africa, so to me it seems like the ar*e end of the world...LOL

Really great paintwork, Ian @ij001

A beauty on the headlines, Ian @ij001
