This is an old kit I bought n had been wanting to build but just got delayed. Now, am using this build to join BBSTC's Two wheeler Group Build

Ok, as usual photo first, talk later. (especially when I am gonna share all the noob mistakes i made in this project
Just that when I went downstairs of ICW to take some outdoor picture, suddenly it turn dark n start raining. Hence, really bad lighting.... (The rain stopped when i moved everything upstairs... duh!)
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Basically, I must say Tamiya had done a really good job! The fitting is almost 100% flawless, chrome parts are as beautiful as it could gets, & assembly design is just way too friendly!
However, due to a long time I have not been doing motorcycle, and pretty much underestimate the difficulties m special care needed for such kits, I have made it a not so smooth process... XD
Basically, it is pretty much an OOB project. I have just done a little bit of detailing with metal transfer rivet, a few pieces of photo-etched parts, try on wrapping the seat with a fake leather sticker, and change the suspension spring. Other than that, just follow the instruction n spray.
The link for wip :link
I think this round it is more interesting in sharing all the stupid mistakes i had made. Because there r so many of them, i have had posted an entire blog post about it.
Confession of mistakes i made here : Confession of a NOOB
