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

Tamiya 1/12 Ducati Desmosedici
3rd time lucky. I'm trying these exhausts again after watching a YouTube tutorial. The guide I was using was one that is printed off from the Top Studio site about 12 years ago and I had the idea about building a motorbike model. I think some of the instructions were a bit lost in translation...- Hecky

Tamiya 1/12 Ducati Desmosedici
Thanks Jim, I've done a bit of assembly over the weekend and tried putting on some carbon fibre decals. It worked better than last time I tried it. Apart from a lack of knowledge, I think the old decal I had was a bit too thick. The new decal I got is much thinner and seems to respond well to...- Hecky
