Hi,

nice job, kunta, looks stock but it is a little bit different when looking at it for a second time.

Exhaust-colours look great this time ( IMO :-) ).

How did you make the slots in the brake- and clutch-levers?

[ZoomZoomMX-5]

Sweet! Those bikes used to be fairly common, now I never see them anymore. Great work!

[aliburke]

is it a model? are you sure not a real one?

[Fabio Quirino]

It's not a kit, it's the real bike !!
Congratulations ! !

[Veyron]

Another beauty bike from you, Mr.!

I didn't paint it. I used metallic tape which is sort of kitchen material(follow pic).
I always use it for mirror(car/bike both) ,silencer, etc.
you know Tamiya ZX-12R model also uses metallic tape for inner fork tubes, it's including with the kit.


anyhow, I should wrote it in wip thread.
