Aprilia RS Cube '04 1/12 *W.I.P*

the seat cowl does not fit to the frame in the pictures because i have placed a rod between the seat cowl and the rear arm to take the photos.

Thanks for all ;)

Bye!!

Roca.

Thank's SeaBee





The grey part is not finished

At the risk of repeating myself - awesome! Keep going Roca, your work is an inspiration!

The red square indicates that this piece is not finished and will be remodelled (longer in the In the end of the exit of the megaphone and a bit more thinner)

You are really making stunning progress on this one Roca! I didn't realize that there were so many kits involved in this bash mania of yours ;-) From what is visible up til now this will be one hell of a kit when done. In my opinion you shall be proud of what you've already acomplished!

Roca, stunning work! But please humour me and tell me hich kit(s) you bashed for this and where you got the decals. Absolutely loved this bike and can't remember a kit of it having been released...

 

I agree, I think it was one of the coolest looking bikes on the grid.  I too am curious as to which kit(s) you are using and what your references are.

Looking very good so far, please keep us updated!
