bossy122I hope your clutch fits onto the bike. I did the same project and mine would'nt fit so that I could get the cover over it.

Federico Di Cori autor@bossy122 I've had the same problem. The photoetched clutch has a greater thickness than the original and I was forced to glue the cover on the clutch itself. There were no other solutions ...

Federico Di Cori autor@julian this is a photoetched clutch. No paint, except for one resin part painted with classic Tamiya acrilic in X-11 color. All the photoetched part are no painted!

bossy122Having just built this kit, I will advise that the bottom of the Repsol red comes in two pieces. I applied the upper part over the orange painted piece and the bottom over the dark blue painted piece and found myself with two different shades of red.

Federico Di Cori autorI preferred to mount the PE clutch anyway! The "defect" is seen only very closely ... For the red part of the Repsol decal I had read this problem in another forum. Is there any solution?

bossy122On a do over, I would try to under coat the lower decal. I might try cutting a blank white decal the same shape.

Julian Herrero aka YuriHi Federico , I ment which paint have you used in the plasric parts of the engine because they look so real

Federico Di Cori autor@julian I only use Tamiya Acrilic Paints with manual brush. For some parts of the engine (as it is reported in the instructions) I used XF-56 (Metallic Gray) and for some other parts the color is X-31:1 + XF-56:1 (Titanium Gold mixed with Metallic Gray). At the moment I do not change anything from what is reported in the instructions, I scrupulously stick to those. But there are much better modelers than me who study the photos of the real vehicles and reproduce those colors

bossy122Another thing you could try: paint that bottom piece the same shade orange as the sides then trace that red decal onto some masking tape and mask that area when you go to paint the blue.
