looks great. keep it goin!

Good grief! That engine looks real :eek7: That's a cool looking project.

Are you disassembling a real one and trying to tell us its a model?? jk, the engine looks real, keep up the good work! :iceslolan

That is looking very sweet at the moment, I'm sure it will be a great completed model. I love the whitewalls :sunglasse

Superb paint effects iceblend! The engine looks great and good thing it will be fully visible after this model is finish. I understand your indecision since both colour schemes are beautiful. Since I’m finishing the NSR painted TS-8 my suggestion goes to the red and white one. :)

Dang. Everything looks so real. Good to see that people are building more than just cars in here.

UPDATE!!!Thank u for all the sweet comments.Here's what i've been up to for the past 2 days.

Wow that is really coool !! :naughty:

Stunning progress.Looks very realistic.:bigthumb:

looking fine! Those are some big a$$ brakes you got there, i mean i realize they are 1:12 and all but still! Nice work! :iceslolan

Very nice indeed !

I`ve never been too keen on bike models but this is just amazing! And it`s very refreshing to see "something different" as you said. I think the yellow version is more conspicuous(?) so I´d say yellow...

You're making everything look so real on it, it's hard to believe that it is a kit.

Almost done!Been busy with school lately...So this would be going a little slow..All that is left to do is the body! :smokin:

very cool, how much does one of those cost?

I got it for about SG$35...About the price of an avg car kit. Price might varies in different countries though. :loser:

i don't think i have ever seen that one before.

I have one of these because I wanted an unfared bike and Tamiya don't make a Ducati Monster.

Yours looks nice and realistic so far, did you drill out the brake disks? As far as colour goes, it may look nice in a graphite colour or metallic black.

I saw this bike in a hobby shop this weekend and considered it, but got something else instead. I should've picked it up now. Your build is great!

There is a Silver/Blue version of this bike on the
box art that looks AWESOME for this bike.

Nope i didnt drilled out the disk brakes. The colour's gonna be in black and light gun metal. =>
