Tamiya 1:12 Ducati 916 - My first bike ever

[Keeto]

Just wanted to thank SteveNoble, John18d and Fangi0 for the advice in the following thread about 2k clear coat. I followed these instructions for my 2k clear coat and barely had to polish anything once I was done. Thanks guys!

This is my first attempt at a bike kit, so I had to do a legendary - at least to me - bike. Lots of mistakes but I'm happy with especially the cleat coat. The only "enhancements" were carbon fibre decals for the exhausts and I drilled out the brake discs. Otherwise everything is standard. Zero Paint Ducati Red and the rest is Tamiya acrylics. House of Kolor 2k clear. PS - Excuse the dust on it I completed this a couple of months ago and only saw the dust while I was taking the pic's...

Hi Keeto,looks very nice,good job on the clear. Those mistakes you talk about are part of our hobby,the thing is to learn from them! Every kit is a lesson. Overall it turned out great. Congratulations.

Thanks Rick. I have started my 1199 as well and that is already an improvement on the 916.
