Tamiya Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR
That purple clear coat turned up. I think it worked quite well on the exhausts. It's lacquer based though so it does have a bit of fumes with it- Hecky

I've managed to lose the cap nut for the steering stem again. This happened on my last model. It goes on here to cover the screw: I've fashioned this out of a bit of sprue to cover the hole. Hopefully it's not too obvious.- Hecky

The body panels are more or less there. The pile of bits in the box is getting smaller. There's just the small fiddly bits left now.- Hecky

I got the lacquer on but it was still rough over some of the decals so I flattened it back with some 600 grit emery and did another coat. The finish is ok but I might go for it with some T-cut later to get a better finish.- Hecky

That was a trial. There's some bits where the black doesn't meet up so I'll have to brush paint a few little bits of black. I might even get some lacquer on tonight after tea.- Hecky

It's nice still weather today so I got the green bits done. The spray paints are far too toxic to use in the house. I've used the mica green from zero paints. It works well straight out of the bottle so there's no need to faff around with thinners. I'll need to try and get decals and lacquer...- Hecky

I had half an hour while the dinner was cooking so I quickly got the front mudguard decals on and lacquered.- Hecky

Got the stripey carbon fibre decal on the rear mudguard and some chequered stuff on the heel plates as a nod to the real bike.- Hecky

I've had a break from painting exhausts badly and got the engine stuck together tonight.- Hecky

This stuff looks the right colour. If I can't mix it with the paints I've got then I might give it a go.- Hecky

It turns out that purple is a really difficult colour to mix. I thought it would just be clear red with clear blue but I can't get it right.- Hecky

Tamiya Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR
I feel like I've made a bit of progress tonight. I've tried to batch paint the main colours as much as I can so I've spent the evening cutting bits off the sprues and cleaning them up before sticking them to cocktail sticks with blu-tack and airbrushing. I think everything other than the...- Hecky

Not really sure how I'm supposed to paint these bits silver. Has anybody bothered trying? Should I do the silver first and then paint the bits around it? It's really tight to get into.- Hecky

It looks like the carbon fibre is a kind of diagonal pattern on the rear mud guard and chequered on the front mud guard, so I've ordered some decaf sheets from Hiroboy.- Hecky

I've also been researching photos of the actual bike. The exhaust shading is going to be interesting.- Hecky

I've not done much yet. I glued the engine, frame and swing arm together. I've also bought a pin vise so I've been drilling holes in everything I can. I've done the rear brake disc and the front chain sprocket etc.- Hecky

Despite saying I wasn't going to do another one until next winter I'd get nothing else done, I've gone and started this. Looks like another great kit. Hopefully I can do it justice.- Hecky
