paint enquiry

Hi everyone.....

I was thinking of doing a Ks Workshop transkit of Rossi Gp11 Ducati bike....

What would be the best colors that matches the original bike?

The 2011-2102 Ducati's were painted fluorescent red over white. Avoid using anything like a McLaren flo red, TS36 etc....the yellow was of course fluorescent too.

So is it okay to spray with Tamiya Ts49 or mr.color super Italian red?

Sorry to jump in, but I think Super Italian Red would be too dark.
TS49 also doesn't have fluorescent effects we need.
I think Mr color 171 fluorescent red will do just fine. CMIIW

Both of those reds are too dark.....You need a neon shade like...Zero Fluorescent red or Mr Color 171..Vale's bike was bright!!

And naturally the yellow shd be flourescant too, right?

[The Sheene Machine]

Most certainly...!

[khairy1974]

Well, I think the best colors shd be mr color 171 flourescent red and Mr color 172 flourescent yellow...

Anyways, thanks guys...

hi....can i use the Top Studio's 1/12 Wheels Set for 07M1/08M1/GP6/GP7/GP8 for the above bike?

I believe the model requires the correct wheels from the Tamiya 2009 M1.....though I would imagine the Top Studio wheels will fit.

anyone has a sample masking solution for the bodyworks for this kit......i am having trouble to get the masking done perfectly for this bike....
