Cool Two wheeled sex! The Ducati 916!

Tamiya's Ducati kit with a little carbon fiber and a whole lot of metalizers thrown in, The red is TS 8. This is one of my favorite Tamiya kits and most fun to build! I wrapped stringy epoxy glue around the exhaust to replicate the welds.

Very clean. I love it. I gave my only 916 to a friend as a gift. That was about 5 years ago. It was spray-painted in yellow with pinkish-red tear drops. Thought of building a scratch-built racing 916 from Tamiya kit but till now never realise it.:flamer:

Thumbs up Love it.

I'm going to steal/er borrow yours when I get around to building my yellow one.

BTW, that side detail reminds me how I hate Yuasa batteries. I'll have to make some other decal for my Duc ever since my real Yuasa left me stranded after a very short life, and it was an expensive battery too.

But then I'd have nothing to drive when it's raining.

Seems bikes are hitting it off here more and more.

Thumbs up amazing

Good job , I still can believe it.ITīs so nice! What a work that of the metalizers. I have heard that some golden inks can be used also to better represent matt gold pieces instead of the thick usual paint.

Fantastic work , keep at it .
