Re: Gpz400r (1985)

As builder 77 said, very clean build!

That colors are very vivid and beautiful, I like the work on the engine, those yellow plugs fits perfectly on that metallic engine. You have done a great job on the paints

It's almost finished

Great!

I think that those darkened panel lines give to the body an extra realism.
