Thanks very much! It is a fun build. I am thinking about ordering Pocher Ducati Panigale bike, it looks very nice! Completed Building Walter Wolf's Lamborghini Countach LP 500S, Harley Davidson Fat Boy, Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa, Honda CB750.

The Pocher Panigale is a nice kit but has a couple of issues, namely the screw type used to hold it together, poor instructions and some of the parts could do with a lick of paint.
That said its still a great looking kit and I would certainly have another.

Thanks for your comments, Al. I did read about all the issues with the Panigale kit, will certainly require quite a bit of work. Brad's Scale Auto Works provides a good reference though http://www.scaleautowork...DucatiBuildingTips.html and there is also an excellent detail kit on eBay with correct scale hardware http://www.ebay.com/itm/...2e66:g:udIAAOSwOyJX7eng and supplemental details http://www.ebay.com/itm/...a80e:g:6XkAAOSwxg5XylPP
Anyway, thinking about it. Not a small investment! Completed Building Walter Wolf's Lamborghini Countach LP 500S, Harley Davidson Fat Boy, Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa, Honda CB750.

Stages 71-72. Installed oil hose, attached front fork, brake hose and all remaining electrical wires. I found it easier to install back the gas tank before attaching the front fork. It's still a bit tricky but it was easier than the other way around as the gas tank's upper portion simply wouldn't slide on its base with the front fork already attached.

Attached foot rests and side stand. Spring tension caused some tricky moments but got it attached in the end... DaveSea attached the following image(s): Completed Building Walter Wolf's Lamborghini Countach LP 500S, Harley Davidson Fat Boy, Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa, Honda CB750.

Finally, I used a spare helmet from HD Fat Boy bike, removed Harley logo and added a dark blue Honda logo. It's not very contrasting so will probably print one in white.
