Looks like a very nice project!

Will be a straight forward build so don't worry. I don't think I have found anything other than the decals that separate the two bikes. Are you doing the "30th" version of the late season bike? I think that is an extra detail that raises the appearance. After those you can do the Camel bike from 03 with the 32 numbering celebrating his 32nd birtday!
Best regards and good luck!

looks very interesting will follow this one.

I agree.
I love these two-stroke machines.
I find these much more brutal then the four-strokes :grinyes: :grinyes:

A small update spent the last few days asembling most of the body and engine,radiators etc.
I have primed and put down the zero paint i used brilliant red a light coat of zero clear has been put on to help the decals from silvering.
Once dry i will start on decals i still only have one set of them but the set i ordered on ebay should be here in the next day or so

for the c/f effect i have used the ladies tights method that i have done on past builds but for the colour i have mixed up black and a bit of white as i did not want it to stand out to much

The engine has only been test fitted now the body is out off the way i can starT on the engine and forks .Still waiting for the other set off decals for the other bike will post pictures of that when done.

Looking very nice Jezz. I'm yet to try the Klear polish on a bike, I've tried it once on a car wind screen with terrible results. Applying it with airbrush is probably a lot easier than dipping the part in that stuff. How do you clean the air brush afterwords?

:) looking good jezz i like the cf never seen it done like that before might have to try that my self.

Wow, the CF came out amazing. Ive heard of that trick before, but dont know if Ive ever seen it done. That looks great. I may have to try it for myself in the future.
