Welcome to the forum. Looking good especially the painting.

How about the fitting of the parts? Any problems?

Thanks for looking ...
I have no problems about fitting the parts, those are very fix together and have quite proportion shape. Problems are only for screws which too small to snap and the screw's form is minus, the same for the real bike.
But while looking entirely bike, the screws have match size to the bike..

Welcome and don't excuse yourself! On a forum everyone can share their work, no matter how their standards compare to other members work. BUT, I don't think your standards are low at all. Love the cowling shine and the engine details looks great.

I agree with Joel, this looks awesome. I would love to see a comparison shot of this bike next to a 1/12 scale. I have seen these kits in the store and have almost got one on a number of occasions. keep up the good work.

Thank you Stuart. I have the 1/12 Tamiya's, but hasn't been started yet. Little comparison, Tamiya's has the fuel tank under its tank cover, but not for the 1/9 Italeri.
Things i like from italeri are :
- The appropriate silencer model is the same as the real 2003 version when Tamiya's still giving its 2002 silencer to 2003 version.
- The appropriate shape 'triangle' (part of fuel tank, near the HRC decal); italeri made it true as the 2003 version shape, Tamiya's still 2002 version.
