Nice work! Thanks for sharing your progress. Any problems so far with the kit?

The problem is with very thin decals - it is necessary cautiously to stick because it is possible to damage.
Next problem - parts are also "chrome" - so I washed the low-quality "chromium" and I will paint Alclad II.

Super clean looking build. I wonder what kind of rivets did you use and how( which glue) did you use to attach them so cleanly? Thanks for sharing.

I'm going to be receiving this kit some time next week (not building the whole thing but using it as a base for a project.)

I've not exactly got any experience in modelling so bear with me; Is there any way to make the engine decals darker? I know it seems pretty impossible but on my reference they're indented and black whereas the decals look very flat.

Your build is looking very nice either way so good luck with that!

I used CA glue and 0.8mm allen head rivets (straight knurled) Tuner Model Manufactory

Front end looks a bit clean, handle bars, forks and brakes. Could need some wash or further detailing.
