Ducati 916

[stevenoble]

The Ducati is now complete.I've quite enjoyed the building of this one.A few problems along the way but nothing too serious,quite a nice kit really.I'm going to take a little break from building for a short time and fancy a road car model when I return,so keep an eye out for me in the street section.I was pleased with the colour matched by Hiroboy,it looks great as always.The frame and wheel colour I picked up at my local Ducati dealer but I was disappointed by it as I feel it is too pale when compared to the real colour. Also I must say thanks to fellow forum member 'Robrex' for making me the rear wheel nut for the Ducati,thanks a lot Rob.Here's the pictures of the Ducati complete.W.I.P thread is Here











The rear wheel nut kindly made by Rob.The split pin I used is not perfect.I may change it later to better represent the real one.

Love it, makes me wish I could get one. To bad there one of the smallest sport bikes out there.

Beautiful job Steve, really nicely done. Look forward to your return build.

Looks cool, Steve,

nice finish. Maybe the tires could be sanded a little bit.

well done Steve.

Maybe you can put a little drop of flat black in the end cans.

Waiting for the next model to come. opcorn:

Looks the bogs boll*cks, the wheel colour is a bit course, but I love it, better than my red one (1st Bike I ever built)

Thanks for all the comments.I agree Steve the wheel colour was disappointing.It doesn't look quite as coarse in real life as it does in the photo but the flakes are much too large.I felt it was also too light,should have been more brown/gold in shade.Other than that I was happy.
