Completed just in time for our annual IPMS Open competition, which took place this weekend.
All in all very enjoyable build, the parts fit was extremely good, and Tamiya provided excellent decals for four different schemes. Only addition were photo-etched brakes by CrazyModeller and some CF-decal for the side panels which Tamiya omitted.
Colors are Mipa brand automotive acrylics (Rosso Corsa and pure white) cleared with 2K laquer.
Comments are welcome!

First of all , congratulations with the medal.
Secondly, you did a great job on the model.
Just one slight minor remark, I find the exhaust system a bit pale. Maybe a little heat staining, not too much .
But this is just my opinion.

Congratulations to your win, well deserved. As I've written in your WIP thread I really like the new details that you've added but as the bike is so realistic in that way I would have added som weathering on the exhaust and lower fork parts. That would have raised the appearance even more.
