Chaps. Bodywork base coated in brilliant white, followed by a few coats of pearl white and finally, the tank got some pearl blue as well. Decals took a while and quite a bit of Microset to make them conform to the various curves. ![](https://preview.ibb.co/m05dqK/2v2_J5_Hq4qx_Ahz_Ns.jpg) Clear coat next...

Thats outstanding work on the paint mate.......i can fully appreciate the decal ordeal of getting them to fit the various curves and angles and i know that takes some time and finesse.........i remember doing the C/F on the Ninja and that was a challenge ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) , ya did a crackin` job for sure ![](http://www.allsmileys.com/files/sweetim-communicate/6280.gif)

Chaps. Clear coat went on fairly well and then it was a simple case of fitting the bodywork and the last bits and pieces. And there you have it, without question, the best engineered kit i have ever had the pleasure of building. ![](https://preview.ibb.co/dVGRPp/2v2_JNUb_Qvx_Ahz_Ns.jpg) ![](https://preview.ibb.co/dKFsx9/2v2_JNJwsrx_Ahz_Ns.jpg) Thank you.

Simply amazing! Beautiful work. Yes, the kit is good, but the builder is the most important part!

Thank you chaps.
Not sure what to build now as nothing i think will really compare, based on Tamiyas current new 1/6 release rate, it will be at least 2021 before we see the next one.
I will have a nose through my modest stash and have a think.
