Evening all, my first RFI and this is my take on the Panigale. Paint job is a nod to the great Mike Hailwood who died in a tragic road traffic accident back in 1981 just aged 40 (I was just 18) near where I now live, story here for those interested:

I can still remember at college one guy arriving in a Mike Hailwood Replica, caused quite a stir
Apologies for quality of photos taken with my iPhone, need to sort a proper camera out. I Really enjoyed doing the build, had problems with the fiddly mirrors, rear end needed much coaxing and Tamiya TS8 decanted was a nightmare to cleanup airbrush etc afterwards.
My thanks go to Imster, jimmysze, CWT and others for info gained from their excellent builds.
Anyhoo here are the pics:
Comments and criticisms welcome, ATB, Dave.
