Tamiya Ducati 916

There was one in the kit.

Was this a metal part in the screw bag or on a sprue? PM

If I remember correctly it was on a sprue.

Found it. As usual it was so obvious when you see it but my brain was having none of it. The part number was on the sheet I posted....duhh. PM

Looking more like a bike now. Working on the exhausts so will add that next. Then the dash and sort all the pipes out, finally the seat and bodywork. I'm trying a new gloss so hope it goes well..... Pantherman

Coming along very nicely!

Had a few silvering issues with one of the bigger decals so had to paint in, over and around it. Couple of gloss coats over the top should hopefully make it less noticeable. Pantherman

And a bit more done, another coat of gloss over the bad decal should work I think. Pantherman

Nice work. I like the way this is coming together.

Thanks. It's a lovely kit to build, excellent fit and good detail. I'm inspired to try a few more of the Tamiya bikes. PM

Nice clean build. Great job. This is a very nice kit and goes together quite easily.

Superb! Very nice build. Like I have said before, I have built 4 Tamiya bikes and all of them are excellent models. I am currently working the Honda CBR1000 FireBlade. I'll post pics when I am finished. Maybe I can get close to PM's standard super clean build.
