discussion Stefees Ducati 916 - Tamiya GB 2026

[Stefee]

Hi all,
Just posting box and sprue shots for my contribution to this GB, first bike build. Will start in the 2nd week of November as we will be on holiday.
Thanks for organising this build.

Looks good. I've never built a motorbike either but the ones I've seen build up into impressive models.

I'm going to give it my best shot.
Builds Ive seen show an impressive engine/transmission which is hidden by the fairings - I'm hoping to use metal fasteners and micro magnets to make them removable.

Good luck with that cos as I remember the fairing lower is screwed to the tank to keep things tight....... Bike kits with fairings tend to have a close tight fit

But have fun, I love bike kits...... I approach it as minimal assembly, maximum painting then final assembly as if it was a real bike
