Hi,
Started Tamiya 1/12 DUCATI 916. I'm building a motorcycle model after an interval of seven years.

*small fixing
cut exhaust pipe from right frame part and put it on left exhaust pipe.



Assembled tank/seat, front fender and exhaust parts.


Removed bolt and rivet molds and going to use metal parts.
-Sakatsu's bolts(1.0mm)
-Adlers Nest's rivet heads(1.0mm & 0.6mm)






Painted reverse side of tank/seat & side cowl parts Finisher's semi-gloss black and masked.





Painted gray primer.

Looks really nice! Some work masking off that interior... looks as the results were good so it must have been worth the effort.
