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.

Butiful lots of very small parts

Jennifer Nijhuis
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.
