    Oh my, two weeks have passed since the last update. Working on the frame by adding the air intakes and various cover plates.



    Also been trying to find/mix the correct color for the front forks. As you can see in the pictures below, I haven't succeeded yet. Currently thinking about buying the Tamiya front fork replacement set, although pricey, to make it myself a bit easy.

    Excellent progress and very tempting detailing set (🤭), my friend @johnb! If you think of buying this Tamiya set, I think your mind has shifted towards it already (🤭).

    The front fork set arrived yesterday. Definitely an improvement over the default parts.


    In the mean time I finished the front tire as well.

    Those wheels look great, @johnb, and the detail up kit will ensure they really pop.

    I’ve been following your work in progress for some time John. It’s a joy to see precisely you are building this MotoGP. Great work!
