Tamiya 1/12 Ducati 1199 Panigale

[Collectible Cars]

I'm new to the forum and wanted to display my first post and first build in 13 years. 
I built lots of cars up to getting married and the time taken with starting a business etc. meant my attention moved to collecting high end diecasts. But lock down has given me the time to build again and I've loved it, it's kept me from frustration.
This is the wonderful recent Tamiya kit with upgrades from  Top Studio and Hobby Design Detail kits, as well as various Top Studio additions such as brake banjos and bleed nipples.
Paint is mostly Alclad with the fairings in Tamiya LP-21 Italian Red, which did give me some problems. I had to redo a few panels as the 2k clear reacted with paint that hadn't hardened yet, even after a week of waiting! Hence it's missing its front DUCATI logo until I can find another.

I never dared to accept the offer for a test ride on a Panigale by the local Ducati dealer, but yours looks just like the ones I sad on in the showroom! Fantastic work - looking forward to see your next project 👍
