Hi everyone......

I present to you my first bike wip:- 2005 RC211V Telefonica Honda.

This bike had already been base coated with Zero's excellent Telefonica Honda paints....and I've just decaled the bike in preparation to be clear-coated.

As this is my first bike (been meddling with armor for all this time), I welcome any comments/suggestions....

IMO, Zero paints give the most accurate paint match as to the 1:1 scale and one of the easiest base paint to lay on....

All body parts screwed on an extra frame and awaiting the clear-coating process.

I will now proceed to start building and painting the engine and other parts.....will post updated/pics as I move along....

Looking good so far. Can't wait to see it really shine after a few good coats of clear :).

Great work. Welcome to the bike section.

Hi,

the same thoughts from me. I´m looking forward to see the parts covered with clear.

Just one hint / tip: If you write in the title, what the contents of the thread is (f.e. "2005 RC211V Telefonica Honda"), other modelers will be "better" informed about your modeling subject

Looking good so far. However I find the weldings on the exhaust a bit overscale. I would make them a bit more narrow.
