Hi Dave
Wow.. this sounds very good
anyhow i hope to see the progress and hope too not to see a future release of other mark... because we saw the 04 Ducati from Tamiya... but maybe someone is doing the same version as you ( for the example... i know that someone had started the M1 05 and Tamiya will release it soon) anyhow i decided to make models of minor importance (but real) for not to see other people doing the same.
Anyhow i hope to see you updates of this big red bullet
Good luck!
