Anyone built a Kawasaki Ninja?

Here's mine:





I didn't run into any problems during the build; I may have been a little more careful since it was my first motorcycle kit. I built it as a Workbench Review model for the Nov. 2001 issue of FSM, and the review is online elsewhere on this site.

If I do another one, I'll probably paint it. I'm not a big fan of the see-through green bodywork.

Good luck with your model, and make sure to post some pictures when you finish it!

Thank you bunches MadModelFactory. I haven't gotten the kit yet. But probably will soon. I love a challenge.

Pointers with the ZX-12R, check the instructions careful for assembling the rear end of the fairing above the tail-light.
4 parts are involved but only 2 need to be glued together, the cross-spar will end up on the rubbish heap. DON'T cement that one into place, neither cement the rear seat cover into place.

You might want to assemble/putty/paint those in place, it is not a very strong joint and sanding, etc might snap it apart again if you are not careful.
Clear Plastic tends to be harder and a bit more brittle.

Also the lower fairing will need a bit of wiggling when putting it on.

Neato. I'll have to check into those. Thanks MadModelFactory!

The Tamiya ZX-12R is not a bad kit, don't like the clear green fairing included in the Kit though.

OTOH, if you are interested Aoshima makes some of the older and current Ninja(aka GPZ900, GPZ400, etc.)
