I'm building a Ducati 916 Senna 1995 version, using the Tamiya kit and Dexter Models Upgrade kit.(Front Brakes and Decals)

The body, frame and whels have been painted with the correct Ducati Paints colours.
The seat is covered with MFH material and the CF is SM 1020 which seems the nicest IMO.
All panel pins have been drilled out ready to accept MFH Rivets.
Thanks for looking

Great start on a lovely bike! Your CF work is amazing as always! How was the seat material to work with?

It was easy, I just made a masking tape template, cut it out and stuck on, it's very thin so it wraps around nice.

Owzer! Very nice!

I like your "flower arrangement" for drying parts ;)

I love it.

Great looking Duke, I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

Wow! You must be really enjoying bikes at the moment Steve?
Everything so far looks perfect!!!

looking great.

if you need refrence pics just drop me a PM, i have one of these sitting in the garage. (not the Senna version, the standard one. although i believe other than bodywork and brakes they're essentially the same.)

Steve,
I think the material you used for the seat has nothing to do with the real thing, it is just too furry.

Other than that, this level of paint and CF job is something I can only dream of...

Hey Steve, I am into same kit, but have not considered the c/f. Well now you got my juices going, so will have a go as well. Finished all bodywork and seat/tank, looks nice.
Your radiator and lower panels look great, did you use SMS decals as well ?

Rod.

Nice start.... very clean work.

What did you use for the seat?

+1. Thats a great idea. I think this bike is going to look awesome when finished.

I'm not really a motorcycle builder, but the Ducati 916 has always intrigued me. I started one in the standard factory street livery in the Tamiya kit and was going with Italian Red.

Then I saw at Detail and Design in Scale, the Dexter Senna transkits and had to get one. I got the 1996 Dexter Senna kit.

I just stripped the old paint on the Tamiya Ducati 916 (of course I had it painted before deciding to change directions). Also have the MFH Rivets and material as well as some Renaissance fasteners.

I've got the Acustion chain link set but am not sure I want to go that far with this. Anyone try the Acustion set?

This is a real insipiration and just excellent work.

Hi,

I intended to sell my 916 kit, but looking at your pics: :shakehead

I´ll think about it once more :evillol: :evillol: :evillol:

Great start, btw :thumbsup:

Oh, now look here...you're just showing off now!!! :cwm27:

This is my only referance photo and I was tried to make my seat the same :rolleyes:

i think you've got it right for the senna version, on the normal one the seat is smooth leather.

This is my only referance photo and I was tried to make my seat the same :rolleyes:
Uhmmm... that looks lik an add-on (I've seen it on MV Agustas as well...)

Some more pictures that seem to show the standard leather seat:

Anyway, it's your choice and it looks great!

Hiroboy looking good ,as a big fan of the mighty Ducati,if I remember right the Senna version ,the customer can say what he/she wants on it ,ie as it is a special bike get what you want on it each one is different.Maybe wrong but that is what my short term memory is saying:rofl:

99.9% Complete now, just waiting for the clear coat to dry on the mirrors and they will be added along with front indicators.

Thanks for looking :)

:eek2: beautiful

Nice

Excellent work!

Sorry to disagree Steve, but this bike is NOT 99,9% done - it's already at about 215% IMO. The build is so sharp, you could use it as a razor!

Great, Steve, absolutely great.

What colour did you use for the windshield??

Steve that is so awesome, I don't know what to say.

Quality build,really looks the part.Excellent finish throughout.Are you going to be adding a number plate at the rear?

I love it. Beautiful work!
Joel

Sensational build Steve! What's next?

Impresive Steve, you make it look so easy.
Knock out finish, bravo!

:eek2: WOW, Another excellent model

Gorgeous Work Steve!!

DaveT
