Finally finished the exhaust. For this kit it was a bit tricky, because of Tamiya provides a bit different way of assembling it (in my opinion is not very successful).

The project is nearing completion, but I'm really tired of it. The sets from the '90s are cool, but they have their own peculiarities.

Thank you, Mr. D! Painting exhausts is quite straightforward. I am using Mr. Hobby's GX clear paints. For this particular exhaust, I applied gun chrome as the base color, followed by a "rainbow" effect with successive layers of clear blue, clear purple, clear red, and clear brown.

That is some darn nice model of some pretty decent piece of machinery. BUT?! A japanese license plate on this italian bike?! 😉

Yeah, this kit contains two types of plates. The first one, with the Italian flag, was defective. 🙁 Maybe someday I'll find another plate, but for now, it is what it is. 🙁
