This is looking rather tasty

Some limited progress over the weekend. I tried some carbon fibre decals on parts of the frame and brush painted some of the details while trying to get the colours correct with the reference photos.
I also made a start on the swing arm and did the dreaded wheel decals. They're probably the best I've managed to do the wheel decals on a motorbike so far but they're still annoyingly imperfect.

I've done a bit more painting and I've tried as much as possible to match the colours on the reference photos. The only thing that I couldn't get close to was the gold heat shield on the air box.
So I had a shot of using gold leaf and I'm really happy with the results. I stippled the glue before I put it on to give some texture and it's really fragile so I've gone over it with some clear yellow to try and match the gold colour on the reference photos as well as protect it.
