    Ok the bike I listed last was listed as the H2R but I ended up doing the Carbon instead . So now I a going for the H2R with the same Hobby Design detail parts i used on the Carbon. I also scraped up some cash and ordered more paint. I also have the Studio 27 carbon fiber decal set i will use on this kit all 50 something of them 😉

    We got 3 inches of snow last night and more coming today so painting will be on hold as temps are in single digits most of the week.

    Detail parts wont be here for about 2 weeks and same prob for paints (mostly rattle cans)

    Anyway, here is the next Victim….errr….Model :). I am also going to shoot for the chrome on this one and apply some techniques i learned on the Carbon.

    Another great-looking project, Cricket (@bikequeen), especially with the carbon-fiber decals and PE. I really like the all-over black tones.

    Lovely color scheme, that black bike. Even if modern sport bikes do look like angry bumblebees. (older former standard street bike rider speaking here) 🙂
