Ducati 900SS

Ducati 900SS from the 70's..Tamiya 1/12......non standard colour which i think actually looks nicer than the black or silver!

and one for scale

Who is to say that it isn't a model of a resprayed bike?

It is a great colour combination and matbe Ducati should have offerred it!! Lovely job of a great kit.

Great build Paul, lovely paint finish.

That is beautiful, I needed time to figure out if it was real or not.

Yes, me too. In fact, I find many good quality motorcycle models look like the real thing. It would be interesting to see one superimposed against an outdoor background (with a convincing shadow—that's the tricky bit).

Hi Paul, I'm not into Bikes, but I have to acknowledge a fantastic model and paint job when I see one. Great build, Cheers Derek

Like Derek I dont really know jack S about bikes , BUT - I do know a great model when I see one and I'm looking at one right here. The quality of the build and paint (and colour choice!) are superb , hell ,its even making me want to do a bike !! Great build mate , cheers tony

[PaulTRose]

thanks for comments, guys, was enjoyable to do with only a little drama with the decals otherwise it was typical Tamiya and went together smoothly

. It would be interesting to see one superimposed against an outdoor background

you have got me thinking now..........i have a bold and cunning plan

 

[PaulTRose]

,its even making me want to do a bike !!

do it Tony, pick one of the basic tamiya bikes and have a go, they go together with no drama and look great, and its always great to try something different

Paul: how did you get the chrome shine, and the shine on the engine?

Paul: how did you get the chrome shine, and the shine on the engine?

thats the chrome bits in the kit, just really careful not to get any glue on the surface to tarnish it.....there was a few bits that i painted with Humbrol Chrome, first time ive used it and i was quite impressed
