Very nice. I think that some of the CF decals are a tad bit out of scale but no bigger problem. Nice touch with the separated tank dummy. Thumbs up.

Hey Tom, welcome.

Ik ken ondertussen het model al en ben nog steeds bezig met de 2004 versie.

Translation: I know the model and I'm working on the 2004 model for the moment.

Super build! I agree with Joel about the CF (I never like the 1/12 SMS decals) but otherwise it's great!

Very nice build! Do you use photoetched for brake disks?

Looks fantastic. I like what you've done with the fuel tank. First time I've seen someone do that...very clever.

No this are just the Tamiya braking disks. Only the ring in the middle of the disk is PE.

About the CF decals... I've seen his before, the sms 1/12th scale decal is not that good, I ain't gonna use this in the futere anymore. Thanks for the tips and comments!

Out of curiosity, what kind of carbon fiber decals does everyone use for the bikes?

I've used Studio27 and sms carbon decals.

Hey Tom! Welcome aboard :) and congratulations for that beautiful bike!

I agree with you, In my opinion those decals are a little bit out of scale. I used them before and I'm already thinking which decals are the best to get nowadays... I also used Modeler's and they are very good.

Hope you could solve the problems of paint and we could see soon that 2006 M1.

very clean build Tom - don't worry about the carbon decal scale - looks very good. I have this kit to build as well and you replica will be a good reference - was there a reason you only had finished pictures - John

No there wasn't a special reason for... I just didn't post the wholo building of this bike here. I think I didn't know this forum for so long... If you want more pictures, just ask and I'll post them, or send them to you by mail...

If you tone down the decals with smoke or thinned black, they're fine. Without that, a little too "in your face." Real CF isn't like that.

That's what I'm planning to do on my current (and future) project(s)
