The set I used to make this sticker set is Studio 27, size seems right but the only part that is oversize is the front fender which is a little too long otherwise it'll be just right.

The colour that I used for the white part, firstly is TS-26 (Pure white) then TS-45 (Pearl white). As for the blue part, I used TS-50 (Mica blue). I primed the surface first before painting the paints mentioned above.

The photos below :




As much as I've tried to make a nice one, but I think that is what I could do. As I was putting on the decal, I keep on accidentally 'crash' the bike that caused some problem on the swing arm as the absorber couldn't hold onto it. After trying to put the main fairing properly back as it went loose, I accidentally ripped the axo & honda wordings on the left slide of the fairing but luckilly it wasn't badly damaged but still the damage is there.

I thought of trying to make it look as nice as possible to mark his 10th anniversary since his passing. This is one talent gone too soon.

Since I started following MotoGP, his name came to my attention on his demise when I was playing MotoGP video game on PS2. That time, I tried to look up about him and even tried to find out the cause of his death.

Suggestions are welcome & thanks for viewing.
