Tamiya Kawasaki zx-12r Candy Green

Here is my next build i will also be building the ZZR1400 also in another post on the forum as i am painting them both the same colour saves cleaning the airbrush twice



The only problem is i am undecided which version would look best on this if you can give me your thoughts on the pictures below ????? ... all over green including the wheels green/or green with black underside with silver or black wheels


i have dry fitted the bike to make sure it all fits b4 i do any more painting


here is a shot of both bikes i am biuilding together

Re: Tamiya Kawasaki zx-12r Candy Green

Hey Jezz, you are back! I was wondering where you went as I used to follow your work very closely on the finescale forum and i am really looking forward to seeing your new work. I even still use your embossing powder trick on my motogp seats! Anyways, to answer your question, I like the green wheels best. happy building.

Re: Tamiya Kawasaki zx-12r Candy Green

paint looks awesome. That rear swing arm looks very odd to me...too flat and it looks oversized. is it just me?
