Adiran - the only limitation one has with model building is patience. In time skill can be developed, but patience is something you either have or you don't. I have found myself building several models at one time. I will come to a spot where I have difficulty and I will go on to another kit and work on it while thinking of solutions to the problems I had with the previous kit. Right now I'm working on 3 LeMans kits for this years Lemans race later this month. I'm building the 06' GT2 Corvette #64 - the 11' "Flying Lizard Porsche 911RSR GT3 #80 and the Ferrari 458 GT3. They are all in various stages of the building process as I'm working out the different problems I have. As for the Fujimi ZX10 TrickStar kits - I have 3 of them - the 2010 #1 ZX10 and both 2011 #1 & #2 - there are 2 others I don't have #2 and #00 from 2010. I have looked at both 2010 and 2011 kits and they are not the same - they use the same engine/wheels/brakes sprue but all the frame-body work-swingarm-tank- etc are different. they are the same quality of parts but completely different in shape and design. The down side is that they are not Tamiya quality for a racing bike kit, but one good thing is Johnson at Top Studio has come out with a detail kit for the 2010 ZX10 kit that costs about $55 usd. That along with some other bits from Top studio should build a nice finished product, but it will require patience. PM me if you want to discuss more about the kits as I have them on hand and I can look at them as we discuss and tell you what I think - John
