Got some problems with the tank. Sprayed the white part and after masking the yellow part. Went away over the weekend and when I peeled the mask some reaction happend with the white color. So I have to paint it again. After that tried Tamiya X-22 got some problems with that, too. In the end I carefully remove the clear coat and used the UVLS Gloss Coat from createx again.

Thank you. Some of the small parts are driving me nuts. I think I have lost a handfull of those screw heads. Thankfully there are more than enough

Jv
Yes I hope you don't loose any of them like I have done on one of my builds
And another one were some small parts vent flying more the one time but luckily I managed to find them
I just got a suggestion today to use tape when handling small parts I haven't tried it but I will probably give it a go
By the way I think your bike will look great whed the colour on the frame I think it will make parts stand out a bit more

I don't like the bike too much but your model is just spot on. The PE parts make all the difference.
