RC211V Telefonica vs RC211V Pons

It's the first time I intend to build two kits simultaneously :
The Honda RC211V Telefonica of Sete Gibernau and the Honda RC211V Pons of Max Biaggi. Has someone already tried such a project ?!
Well, i started last weekend and I am currently working on the engines. Not big difficulties for the moment.
Here are some pictures :

the way I work


the engine before the jus


and the engine afer.


Cheers

Steve

WOW, your engine is incredible. I haven't tried building a motor cycle yet. Do you find it easier to achive a perfect result compared to a car? One question : are your engine part handbrushed or did you use a spray can/airbrush?

Keep sending pics, it's going to make me want to build a motorcycle!

That is a very realistic-looking V5!

Two bike at the same time !!! Wow, must be a little boring to build the same frames twice. I have all those RC 211 kits (3) and I had discovered that the frames are pretty much alike.

Keep up the good work! I´m still impressed of your ambition of building two of rather the same. The only thing that differ with ém is that the cowlings has different decals thou.

Hi all !
thanks !
SFTB : no I don't think it's more difficult to build a bike than a car. The fact is that there are more details because of the scale !
I painted the engines with my airbrush. I think Tamiya paints are not very good to be applied with a brush. I never get good result contrary to the airbrush. So there are just the small details that are hand painted.

Schnitzermann : well, of course, when you build two same kits at the same time, you have to do everything twice, the interesting things and the boring ones as well. But one the other hand, when you paint something, you have to open the paint jare only once and when you use the airbrush the same. So you get time. You also have to study the notice only once.
Actually, I've never tried before, so it's a kind of experience for me. I'm gonna tell you what I think of this way of working when both kits will be finished.

Steve
