I've enjoyed this build. It's taken a while but I'm fairly happy with it. There's the usual flaws here and there but it gives me something to try and improve for the next one!

That is a thing of beauty and superb detailing, you must be very proud of the bike.

It's a good kit and a thoroughly enjoyable build. The finish might not be good enough for some on here but I'm happy enough with the Zero Paints single pack lacquer straight out of the gun.

I've learned how to do gold leaf during this build and I think I'm generally improving at things.

Thanks Stefan

George, There is nothing wrong with that finish at all.

Thanks Paul, some folk go to town with the T-Cut once the lacquer is on. That's a bit too much effort for me!

Good result.

Thanks Bob, I'm learning a lot from your past builds. What carbon decals do you use? I'm either really bad at them or using the wrong products.

That is some very impressive work George.

Thanks Ian, it's a really good kit out of the box. All I did was paint it and stick it together.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Bit of a mixture, but the ones for the 1st Superleggera were from Spot Models.

 

[Hecky]

Thanks Bob, I'll give them a go
