Hi all started this kit a few weeks ago. The wife wanted me to build a bike so she could display it on her desk at work. First attempt at building a bike, here are some build and finished shoots.

Hi thanks for the kind words, it's OOB I used some carbon fibre on the rear mud gard, and the tamyia grade up parts for the front forks and rear damper.

It's a nice build,

what's the reference of the red you used?

a little thing, you could if still possible, sand the tyres to make disappear the molding line.

See you

Hi the paint I used was by zero paints, forgot to do the tyres I was also thinking of adding some PE rivets, thanks for the comments
