D1fuN0 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Afternoon Chaps Well its taken like a year, but its finally finished. The kit itself is absolutely fantastic and the engineering is excellent. The majority of the bike can be assembled without using glue, (screws, snap fit etc) and that actually helps in a lot of places. The front screen needs no glue to keep in place, but I would suggest that you build up the two mirrors first, then install them, before putting the screen in. This really is the best bike kit Tamiya have ever done. I have used some of the Hobby Design update set as well, but actually there wasn't really any need to use all of it, and I used the Tamiya Fork set which is also excellento. Its finished in TS 47 Chrome Yellow, TS 30 Silver Leaf and TS 82 Rubber Black, with both Clear and Flat Clear being used. Hope you enjoy, all comment welcome Mad Steve 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairystick Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Very tasty indeed! I have looked at this kit in the LHS and almost purchased one. Your build might be tipping me over the edge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Looks great Steve, the yellow/silver/matt black is a great colour choice. Did the spidery number plate holder come in the kit or the Hobby Design set? Also any chance of some more pics? Cheers, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Cracking! Love the Panigale and this has caught it beautifully. Really like that number plate holder - as Will has asked, is that kit or HD bit? ATB Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1fuN0 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Afternoon chaps Thanks for the kind words chaps. The numberplate holder is from the HD set, its actually a two piece affair, an the bit you see is the rear of it, but i just thought it looked cool Mad Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
