@gblair, thank you, George. Lots of details indeed, but likely most of them will be hidden in the end.
@chinesegeorge, thanks, George. It is good the instructions mention these various shades since I was not aware that those engines did have that,

@kalamazoo, thanks a lot, Allan.

The engine looks better and better, my friend @johnb!

Engine is nearing its completion

Very neat work on the engine, @johnb, looking forward to the next stage.

@chinesegeorge, thank you very much, George. I will do my best to make it look as beautiful as your build of this GSX-RR Suzuki. Definitely using your build as a reference.

The silver spray looks nice, my friend @johnb! Indeed, the weldings are molded really well!

Nice engine, John (@johnb). It is amazing how quickly these motorcycle models grow in complexity. All of the metallic colors look great.
