These kits have moved on a lot since I last did one (about twenty years ago!)

Lovely job, great realistic effects on the exhaust and there are some very difficult transfers (decals for the younger generation) put on very nicely.

the decal were not that bad to apply i always use decal solutions such as microsol which softens the decals to conform to the contor and micro set to shrinks and stick decal to all the surface detail the trick is to make sure where the decal is to be placed i mask up and airbrush the colour under so if it does not join you cannot see any gaps in the kawasaki case i masked the bottom half of the farring and sprayed black and layed decals on when clear coated it is seamless

Tamiya have some lovely 1/12th bike kits around at the moment, very good quality, lots of screws to hold everything together, and lots of detail.

Just completed a Minolta Honda RC211V from 2004 MotoGP season, I am very impressed with it even if I do say so myself.

Thats a lovely looking model, nice work.
