david v Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hi Everyone, well its on to my next project, the new Tamiya Panigales. This will not be as quick a build as my last two, as i have to wait for the Front fork upgrade set to become avaliabe here( should be the middle of september) and also we are off on holiday next week. I wont bore you with the obligitory box shot ect, just to say i will be using aftermarket Rivets and screws on the panels for the first time, so here is where im at with the engine, I hope you enjoy the pics and please feel free to comment Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in the stash I have the front forks (another set on order) ,the Hobby Design detail up set already have the Ducati red paint Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD77 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Interesting Phil, I have two of the hobby design detail sets on the way, what are they like in the flesh? Undecided on whether I'll build one Red and a Senna or one WSBK, or possibly all three. Apologies for the thread hijack Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for the thread hijack Dave. you could always go for all 3 of them, although what is WSBK (excuse my ignorance)Bikes are not my thing but I did like the styling of this one as this would be my first bike build I am not too familiar with PE for this type,but there are a lot of small parts ie the bike chain also 2 sizes of rivets that I am sure I will need a microscope ,that is if I have the nerve too try them I am hoping Dave's build will encourage me and with ideas to build them soon Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
