Tamiya Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR
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

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

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
