This is the next model on the bench. After a couple of tough builds I am looking forward to doing this Tamiya kit.

I have built 4 Tamiya bike kits and loved all 4 of them. I have built the Yamaha Virago 1000, the Yamaha Road Star 1600, the Yamaha YZF-R1 Taira, and the Kawasaki Ninja H2. I just opened the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 30th Anniversary Edition. You will have fun with the Ducati. I am actually starting to want to only build bike kits. They are just fun to build and with Tamiya, I have had no problems at all with them. I will be anxious to see how it comes together.

Never built a motorcycle kit before so this should be interesting.

I got the swing arm done. Now on to the engine.

Engine and swing arm are done and connected.

Looks like you’re off to a good start. I’ve never built a motorcycle myself. Looks great!

That's looking pretty good. I am still astounded to this day of the amazing detail some of these model kits have.

Some more progress made today. I am really liking this kit. No fit issues and I have not seen any flash at all.

Okay so I couldn’t wait until tomorrow.
I applied the remaining decals and this build is finished.








This was a great kit with a lot of detail.
A true Tamiya quality kit.
