Hi Andy,
Just had a good catch up. Some lovely work going on the chain looked a right pain.

Very slow progress I am afraid as the decals I am working with just refuse to take so I am having to do them one at a time sticking them on with a pva/water mix. This means I can not handle the part until it dries completely in case I ruin the decal so I have started another build to do in between sessions with the bike but fear not it will be along shortly, I hope. 
Andy.

A bit of a test fit to see how it looks.
This model continues to fight against me, there are a set of decals for the white section of the tailpiece but they will not stick around the curves and the cut outs so I just masked it and painted it, looks OK but I will probably have a similar problem with the white part on the fairing front and if I have to paint that it will mean a lot of masking to cover the whole fairing to avoid any overspray. Talking of the fairing, that will be fun to fit as it is one piece and you have to spread the sides to slip it over the frame/ engine unit and then fit the forks afterwards.

For a kit that's giving so much grief, it's looking really good.
The original MHR Ducati's had a one piece fairing like that. Yes, the full-size ones!

Well, I managed to wrestle the fairing on so by the end of the week this thing will be gone.
Still a few bits to do, fit the screen and a few cables and the r/h side footrest/brake pedal assembly then it can go back to it's owner. If he is happy then I am happy, if he is not happy then I am still happy to be rid of the thing and I will never take on a build for someone else ever again mate or not!

With all the problems I would probably feel the same but it does look good now, your mate should love it.

You're doing yourself a disservice Mark, despite the problems you've encountered it appears to be an excellent result. I would be very proud of that Cat!
