Hi, The 888 is a decent bike to make.

Prime the surfaces, use a decent "Italian Red" for the bodywork.

Above all, take your time and all will be good

look at the bike page on the website below for examples, there's an 888 in there

Hey "model lover" welcome. Make sure you read swanny's 'The Complete Future' in the 'Techniques' forum. URL is below. You won't believe how easy, and how well this product works. "Tamiymark" hit the target, go slow. don't try and do the whole kit at once. And ask questions. The forums are a great source of advice for the novice or a pro.
