I was having DT’S so I started this 🙂

Two color options the one on the box art or the Matte Pearl Morion Black, i opted for the latter. And I’m off and running.

All-black looks really classy, Cricket (@bikequeen). Should be fun to paint.

Hi Cricket @bikequeen, the metallic black is a great choice, it should look really cool.

Thanks everyone! This engine is going to have GREAT kick A$$ detail :). In the last 2 years, I have built Tamiya kits from the 70’s to present this being the newest so far, and of course the Africa Twin (in the wings the Ducati Superleggera). It’s amazing to see how they have progresses over the decades in both detail nad manufacturing tricks, such as molding tricks with parts sprues! I am a Tamiya junkie 😉

I agree, Cricket @bikequeen, but it still relies on the skill of the modeller to bring out the best of them.

This looks indeed very detailed, Cricket @bikequeen
Modern molds and materials do help but the best needs to come from the modeller. Therefore this kit is in perfect hands at this moment.

@bikequeen - Fantastic work so far Cricket. The black on black color scheme is going to look super cool!

I think yours is well on the way to looking at least as good as the one in the photo, Cricket (@bikequeen).
