Hi i just thought i would post a few pics of my Team Honda RC211V, well at least the engine any way , this will be an out of the box build no weathering or added details because it is my first bike, i will be working on the exhaust system next, a few words about the kit it is 1/12 scale Tamiya and the fit is very good and so is the detail, the decals also look really good. As always any and all comments welcome.

The engine looks beautiful Robert.
What colors did you use for the engine block and valve covers?
