Day shifts done so a bit more work completed. Quite a bit of detail painting to do but finally some progress

Very nice Mick. interesting engine, not seen one like that on a bike kit before.
Ducati engines are a bit different all round I think, what with their desmodromic valve system that hardly anyone else bothers with.

Interesting. The only Ducati I've built is the Superleggera V4, but that had a fairly standard looking engine.
 
Just popped in on this one, a very nice kit by the looks of it, and your doing a great job so far.

Just had time to screw the engine into the frame. Last update for two weeks as I’m off on holiday.

What kind of nonsense is this, Mick!!! It's getting real interesting now and you want to just jet off on holiday for 2 weeks??? Is there no justice in the world???......Oh sorry, I forgot old people need a holiday every so often!!!......

Have fun, Enjoy them and relax my friend. Oh, and like I said to Geoff, only order the Pina Coladas with the umbrellas in them. You don't need sunburnt fingers when you get back home and continue with this great build........

Prost
