broder jezz.......................... finally some one builds a bike again. This is gonna be a sweet ride. I just love candy green colour. I used it on my supra but i used apple green I think and finished it off with tamiya pearl clear to get the candy green effect because I dont own an AB hehe :P

I have always wanted to buil bikes but no courage yet huhuhu.

Keep em going go go gooooo

Entau, FYI Zero Paints produces accurate colours for quite a number of bikes and cars. They even produce period correct shades of Ferrari reds for its F1 cars as well as their production cars. Too bad no LHS is bringing these paints in.

Good choice of colour Jess... I got mine but still not sure the colour choice. I'm not even sure when should I start building it... :lol:

I had a bit of time over the weekend so made a start on the kit all parts are now ready for primer hopefully get some more done tommorow

I find that if i lay out the parts like this i can airbrush all the colours at once and then add the details to peices afterwards while i am doing the green on this bike i have the ninja ZX-12R in my to do pile so i am building that at the same time which is also going to be the same colour i will post the wip in the bike section for you to have a look at.
