    Looking good, @johnb, we could do with some more modern Moto GP bike kits, unfortunately bike racing has been taken over by the same enterprise that runs Formula One, and weโ€™re not getting any recent car kits either.

    @fiveten, thank you, Spiros
    @chinesegeorge, thank you, George. It is indeed a pity that thare are very few modern F1 and MotoGP models. Definitely my daughter would love to see some of the current racing era.

    Even more than a week has passed already. Time to make some more progress on this bike. Currently working on the swing arm.

    Some painting done on the rims, the characteristic orange of this scheme. Definitely a second layer is required.

    Will look perfect once reapplied, my friend @johnb! Orange is not easy to apply.

    Iโ€™m sure the orange will pop with one or two more coats, @johnb.

    @fiveten, @chinesegeorge, thanks a lot. My daughter already has the idea that I'm close to finishing this kit at this moment after seeing the orange paint ๐Ÿ™‚
