Tamiya number 14129 1:12 scale Ducati Panagale S - box art
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/5/9/0/224590-22793-55-720.jpg)
some quite nice detailing on this bike wheel rim decals were a nightmare though and still require touching up
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/5/9/1/224591-22793-50-720.jpg)
mean looking from the front, had a few issues with the Tamiya acrylics drying to fast on the front mudguard (was before I discovered Tamiya X20a thinners)
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/5/9/2/224592-22793-72-720.jpg)
tried my best with the detailing on this but as I don't have an airbrush yet brushmarks are a bit unsightly, lovely detail though
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/5/9/3/224593-22793-77-720.jpg)
the bike has a very sexy back end, bad lighting though the red looks pink in some of the pictures sorry
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/5/9/4/224594-22793-19-720.jpg)
right side showing some of the detailing, i have got better with my detail work since I built this model
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/6/0/1/224601-22793-78-720.jpg)
still needs some tidying up on the detailing

![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/6/0/3/224603-22793-57-720.jpg)
speedo and top yoke detail - could be better but was only my 2nd build since I returned to modelling after a 25+ year break
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/6/0/4/224604-22793-87-720.jpg)
love the single sided swingarm and the big fat tyre
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/6/0/5/224605-22793-33-720.jpg)
body panels starting to go on - sorry about the pink hue, bad lighting on my part, it is italian red trust me
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/6/0/6/224606-22793-58-720.jpg)
top down view with the tank and rear seat cowl, really need better lighting pink again
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/6/0/7/224607-22793-51-720.jpg)
they only do this bike in flat black and italian red but maybe the girlies would like this pink colour, again bad lighting on my part sorry
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/6/0/8/224608-22793-87-720.jpg)
starting to look like a bike now, time for the rest of the body panels

Album info
Some pictures of the kit in various stages of build. I forgot to take photos right at the start of the build so it's starting half way through, sorry about that
