Really well painted
I find red a hard colour to spray, but I am a spaz
I would love to get that high gloss on mine
Was future acrylic sprayed and then buffed.... how????

Oh wow!
I just caught up on this Will and I'm impressed. This is a really cool looking kit. Well at least to me. I don't know much about them.
I like what I see though. You're paint work is excellent too. That shine is really well done and that metal work is very realistic.
Those pins that you're using with the seat.. are they with the kit or did you buy them somewhere else?

Awesome!!!!!!!
You have done an amazing job adding and accentuating this kit :thumb2:
I wanna hop on, kick start it and pull away in a cloud of blue smoke...if it rides like the one we had as kids; the safest motorbike as you could outrun it on foot.
