May be some of you already saw this bike on other sites, and now I show it here. The most interesting is the colour, it's automotive chameleon paint from Sikkens. The clear is Sikkens too. Enjoy!

Until that last pix, you could fool anyone,that is with a better back ground.
Even Tamiya's screws don't distract from the realistic appearance of you bike.
awesome!

A cool, clean build

I've never ever been a fan of chameleon paints as they always seemed to look a bit tacky to me. However, this is probably the best paintjob using that paint I've ever seen, in real life and on models.

Absolutely beautiful bodywork and great photography. I understand photographing chameleon paint is very hard but you've done it perfectly and this deserves to be in a magazine somewhere

. I want to buy this kit now

Looks great. I would have put some effort into weathering those chrome parts and the exhaust but that depends upon how I want to show my bikes. I think you've done a great job with this build!

Thanks to all! It's very pleasant to me to read your responses!

Wow, nice work. That's a super clean build. I need to actually build one of my Tamiya bikes one of these days.

nice & clean

did that paint come as a spray can, or you used an airbrush ?? Also do you know what code/name that paint has ??

I agree, maybe you still could do a little wash on the brakes.
