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?

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

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.

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.
