The parts are not too numerous but are a little thick and clumpy.

The instructions are far from precise but serviceable.

The decals are very thick but stable in decal solutions.

I did pick up a photo etch kit and the brake rotors came out beautifully. SMS Gunmetal Grey.

SMS steel Cold chrome and Tamiya clear green brushed on the wheels.

Overall the kit lacks detail, suffers from large gaps and is often misaligned when fixing parts together. Lots of work but quite enjoyable nonetheless.

SMS Italian Red lacquer needed a light sand in a few places. Lacquers are so much better to use than the acrylics I started the hobby with.

Four or five minutes rubbing down with an 8000 grit Microscale cloth to be done here.

I won’t be adding a heat signature to the exhaust. Alclad Black base and SMS stainless steel.

Went mad with carbon fibre decals. Still learning how to do this and the outcome was not wonderful.

Hasegowa gold finish added to the forks tube. Work to do with this stuff too!

You won't have to wait long Jennifer, only clear coat and final assembly to go.

Got a few things happening with it. The silver stripe lifted in a couple of places during clearcoating.
