Looks really good, very clean. The paint is amazing. The CM heatstaining looks good, I must admit I was curious about how that would turn out. I figure you're like me, and wish your photos could really bring justice to the models you build. I feel the beauty is only limited by that. Is the CF decal on the muffler still wet? The detail on the back seat is nice, with the two different blacks on the seat and the strap. Great work.

The CF was still a tad damp with microsol. Its now finally dried, and is pretty much crease free.. Glad you like the rear seat... I thought it would break it up a little, make it stand out.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Each and everyone of them really makes me feel proud to present this model. There are comments from top builders on here, and this makes it a proud build to show you all..

I'm getting close to "almost" fooling you into thinking its real... Next time, I'll try and take the picture to make it look in scale to the background.. LOL

Stunning model, perfect paintjob. I saw the real bike yesterday in blue/white but yours looks way better (but the real one may sounds better )
