This is a 1/12 Ducati 916 by Tamiya that I built months ago for my wifes' god daughter Kirsten. This is also the first motorcycle model that I built. Comments & suggestions are welcome.

Hey Cardinal,

Looking good, I just picked this kit up about a week ago.

Any problems with the kit? Anything to becareful of?

Looks like an awesome kit. Be my first Motorcycle kit as well.

Looks good, nice paint job ( I hate gloss paint, never really managed it and never had a change to pratice it.)
The personalised numberplate (licenceplate) is a excellent touch which really finishes the model.

Cheers
Henk

- that bike looks like you could start it up & take off down the road on it right now.

Fantastic work. The paintjob is superb.

Thanks guys. I've been wanting to build a motorcycle model for a long time & I guess this is it. The personalized number plate was something I thought would give it some sort of originality.






As far as I could remember I did'nt encounter any major problem with this kit. The only thing that made it more challenging is the painting of a number of tiny parts which sometimes could be straining to the eyes & to my patience. I painted it using Tamiya acrylic paints & after they're dried I swabbed it with Future for that extra glossy look.

Beautiful job Alex.

Looks good, nice paint job .

Great work!! I love motorcycle models, but have never made one that big!!

One thing I thought of was the seat looked like plastic, but that could just be the picture...

Very nice work there . Kirsten must be deserving a lot .
