Thank you for the compliments!
The painting was pretty straight forward, there is a masking template sheet for the fairings that you cut out and apply. I had a very difficult time with the rear cowl masking template and ended up using blue painters tape instead (I couldn't get the templated mask to line up right and ended destroying them). The trick to this was I hard to assemble the upper and lower fairings and decal them up to see where the stripe started so I could mask off the rear properly. The biggest pain for me was the rear cowl stripe decals. I ended up using an extreme amount of Micro Sol to take out the air bubbles and wrinkles, and for some reason the Honda wings on the tank were no laying flat either. The Nastro decals on the upper fairings prooved to be difficult as well, I ended up dunking the entire upper in warm water on several occassion (with the decals applied) in efforts to line them up correctly. Unlike the Camel and Repsol RC211's the Nastro fairing decal is one peice, which is why it was so difficult in getting a proper fit.
All in all I have to say it was the most difficult build I have done, and I am rather pleased with the results. Down the road I may attempt to build it again in attempts to get a higher definition paint job to it. The Tamiya yellow (bottle, not spray paint) was difficult to get an even fill on and did not seem to shine very well even after coats of clear.
Thanks again for the compliments, and if I missed any questions I'll post up another response.
If you love your bike let it go.
If it comes back to you, you've highsided.
