Lookin' good, They're nice kits but some real input is need in parts, the chain is a bit of a challenge but does look good once it's completed and fitted. good luck.

right here are some pic's of work so far no paint yet just a lot of getting rid of mold lines

I started with the chain witch as long as you don't rush is not to bad to do

stage one

then flipped over for stage 2

have done some more work on the bike the engine is in the frame now just a few problems,first  if you build this kit,do not follow 

the instructions on the fitting of the exhaust system if you do you wont be able to fit the swing arm for the rear wheel if you do

it is a east fit if you do it after you put the engine and swing arm in the frame.Second the air filter dose not fit if you have all the

fuel lines fitted like I do,you can have fuel lines or air filter but not both despite the instructions saying you can,it is not a big problem

as once the body panels go on you cant see it.

Just a Revell re boxing of the old Protar kit. Protar had some good ideas but their execution/engineering was up to maggots. Mind you not that Revell could have done much toimprove them.

I've got the old BMW sidecar combo kit half started/finished and that was a dog and then I descided to relace the wheels. 

 

I'll take a couple of pics and post them in the bike forum.

Now that looks like it came from the Arc not the stash, it just goes to show how some box art has moved on and some not. Even the Revel box art would be considered old if they were to re-release the Ducs in their old box.

I wonder why Revel haven't done another release of the Ducati kits, must be ten years since they were last available.

Ha yeah, I've had this kit ooooh 10 years already, and it was old when I bought it...

Would be nice if they did release again, id love an S4 in this scale.

Yeah it is the  Protar kit and Revell have don nothing to change it I just had a look at the sprue and they are all marked 

Protar all they have done is put it in a different box and I am not even using the instructions they are so bad but i think 

with a little TLC she wont look to bad

few more coats of white,some sanding and the a lot of gloss..........so not much to do
