Is your part organizer a Home Depot Stanley 17 Compartment Small Parts Organizer?

Yes, Zonic, I believe it is.. I have 4 of them so I can build 4 bikes at one time without confusion. Also got some smaller organizers for just the detail-up parts:

More progress here.. Completed the fork, after modifying it for the detail parts.
Then did all the bodywork and decals. Still around 55 parts left, and alot of wiring up front. Enjoy! Marco

Sounding like a broken record here but, Wow! Excellent build.

Might I ask how much you found this kit for? I stopped by my LHS yesterday motivated by your build and this kit was going for a whopping $70! Couldn't pull the trigger...

Re: 2007 Honda RS250RW Scot team/Dovisioso (Hasegawa)

Thanks, Jim! My LHS shop had it priced at $70 also, but he gave me 30% off
Because I'm a repeat customer, so around $50. I then added the $65 detail kit, and $30 for the decals (Ebay)... around $145, plus paint, etc.

Re: 2007 Honda RS250RW Scot team/Dovisioso (Hasegawa)

This stuff adds up doesn't it?! I'm as guilty as any: Tons of kits and detail up parts. Drives my wife crazy. I've accumulated a critical mass of supplies so I am focusing on getting builds, mainly OOB, done.

Looking forward to all updates, Marco! Go Man Go!

Marco - I realize you're busy but please more detailed pics on the front end (forks) etc and wiring-brakes.
Paintwork looks good but can't tell from the pics - not close enough - decals look good too.
Did you clear the painted/decaled body parts? which kind? any polishing?

Thanks Jim, and John! Sorry I've been away 4 days on a road trip, including an IPMS contest. I'll post closeups as soon as the fork is wired up, and brake cables are installed! Thanks for watching! Marco

Re: 2007 Honda RS250RW Scot team/Dovisioso (Hasegawa)

I liked this kit so much I just ordered the '07 Repsol version!
I've completed the handlebar assembly, plenty of PE, detail painting, tiny decals, and washes. The bodywork is far from done, as it has only 2 coats of lacquer. I created a weld around the fuel cap before priming, as on the real 1:1 machine. Enjoy! Comments/criticism welcomed

Thanks, John.. I was looking at this site, pictures taken at a "thank you" exhibit in the Honda museum in Japan:

Re: 2007 Honda RS250RW Scot team/Dovisioso (Hasegawa)

Hi Zonic, Yes, I was awarded First Place in the motorcycle category for a
2005 YZR-M1 #24 Toni Elias/ Fortuna bike I built earlier this year.
Took third place as well. Quite pleased.
Made a great 4 day road trip out of it on the Oregon coast!
There were tons of high quality models there, learned a lot.
Thanks, for asking... Marco

Re: 2007 Honda RS250RW Scot team/Dovisioso (Hasegawa)

Another chunk of progress, I completed the front end wiring, installed the instrument cluster permanently,
added the fairing supports, and a few miscellaneous pieces of wiring and tubing.. getting close now, just the
footpegs, brake and clutch levers, and more lacquer on the body panels... Enjoy! Marco
