repsol honda rc211v '03 valencia

hi guys,

i know that this bike has been out for a long time. since i've been using the valencia kit as the donor for my rcv '05 & camel rcv '04, i decided to make one this time.

here are the photos of the naked bike in different angles.

i used the s27 set instead of the one provided by tamiya. i've been hearing things that the sun design on the fuel tank doesn't seem to fit well with the tamiya decal set but this s27 version seems to be able to fit like a glove. i also did notice that the orange tone seems to be different than the one provided by tamiya. the s27 version is darker compare to the tamiya version which is brighter. not sure which tone is more precise but anyway, i've used s27 set except for the lower part of the bottom cowl where there are all sorts of sponsors that is i used the tamiya set.

Stinks the S27 decals are different, but it still looks great. I love the sun design on the tank. Makes it that much better that you used an alternate livery. Great job on it! :sunglasse

Looking really good! Some CF decal would really make details pop, as well as clearcoating and polishing to make the decals blend a bit better. Very nicely built...:)

thanks,

i appreciate it.
