The engine is done. At the end it will be covered by the side cowl and will be visible by 15% 🙂

Mr D
Brilliant, a good start 👌.
Tamiya know there bike's 👍👍 l did the NRS-500 it had a see through fairing, So l did an oval area unpainted to see engine.
Like it 😁

Finally finished the exhaust. For this kit it was a bit tricky, because of Tamiya provides a bit different way of assembling it (in my opinion is not very successful).

The project is nearing completion, but I'm really tired of it. The sets from the '90s are cool, but they have their own peculiarities.

Michael Kohl
Looking good.

Mr D
Coming along nicely now good exhaust heat effect 👌
What paint system do you use.
Nice bike good project 👍👍

schecter87
Thank you, Mr. D! Painting exhausts is quite straightforward. I am using Mr. Hobby's GX clear paints. For this particular exhaust, I applied gun chrome as the base color, followed by a "rainbow" effect with successive layers of clear blue, clear purple, clear red, and clear brown.

Mr D
Great 👋😃👍 thanks for the tip's l will try this technique on jet exhaust's
Good luck with the rest of build, will keep n eye on it.👍👍

Kesa Tiho
Very nice and clean build, would like to see something next to it as a size comparison

Michael Kohl
That is some darn nice model of some pretty decent piece of machinery. BUT?! A japanese license plate on this italian bike?! 😉

schecter87
Yeah, this kit contains two types of plates. The first one, with the Italian flag, was defective. 🙁 Maybe someday I'll find another plate, but for now, it is what it is. 🙁

Michael Kohl
Just kidding of course.

Mr D
The Japanese like there Ducati's too...🤣
