Tamiya Suzuki Ecstar GSX RR 1/12

Hi guys,

Another bike completed. Still not 100% but I think I'm getting better at them.

All I can say is stunning, I know how tricky a paint job like that is to achieve and you have really cracked it.
Top notch work right there.
I'm looking forward to the next one.
The new Tamiya Ducati perhaps?

[MrBowcat]

Cheers Keith.

Indeed, I broke ground (well, cut plastic) on the Superleggera V4 today.

[Mpfiend]

I’ll look forward to seeing that as it is on my list too.

This bike is next on my list to build. Any pointers/problems to look out for?
I've only recently started modelling again now I'm retired so any help would be appreciated.

[BaronSteve]

Impressive looking model. Well done!

[MrBowcat]

Thanks mate.

This was almost a year ago so I had to look over my build thread. (viewtopic.php?t=30425&hilit=ecstar).

As far as I can tell there were no major issues with this one. The only thing I would watch out for is the long Suzuki decal on each side. It's multi part and multi panel. I'd suggest getting the various parts/panels mounted on the frame when doing this one to aid getting it lined up properly.
