Here are a few pics of my Honda build i am calling this one finished excepet for some monor touchups in a few places its done. The paint could be better but with so many decals its hard to see the paint and i learned a lot about applying decals to compund curves, the next one will be better.

Outstanding build Robert. The decals must have been quite difficult to master. Particularly the big "Biaggi" decal on the side.
What will you build next?

That is very nice. Yellow can be a hard color to pull off and you've done a really nice job.
I'd love to see an MOD of it or the next one

Thanks Jesper yes those decals were a pain to apply, you need to use setting fluid and a great deal of care, for my next kit i have started a 1/24 scale Freightliner big rig by Italeri, Thanks Scott and MOD should not be a problem i have more pics i will get them together.
