John - I was thinking of making one of the Fujimi's Kawasaki Trick Star Eva bike in future. What are the shortcoming of the kit? I've had a look at the scanned instruction sheet in
www.1999.co.jp website, I didn't see any difficulty there by the look of it but I can't say that though as I haven't seen the kit yet.
I'll try those ways you mentioned on the RS250RW which I'll be finishing the engine soon. But hopefully, I can make something from there after trying to make 2 Hasegawa kits.
Before I attempted this kit, I had a look at Mie's work in his motomodeling blog & Kei's work on ks workshop blog to get some inspiration but of course I can't follow them since I know my limitation.
