That is looking very sweet at the moment, I'm sure it will be a great completed model. I love the whitewalls

Superb paint effects iceblend! The engine looks great and good thing it will be fully visible after this model is finish. I understand your indecision since both colour schemes are beautiful. Since I’m finishing the NSR painted TS-8 my suggestion goes to the red and white one.

Re: Something different...

I`ve never been too keen on bike models but this is just amazing! And it`s very refreshing to see "something different" as you said. I think the yellow version is more conspicuous(?) so I´d say yellow...

Re: Something different...

You're making everything look so real on it, it's hard to believe that it is a kit.
