Well,it looks like I did not work a lot on this project but to be honest I worked every evening (night) since my last entry.Paintjob and decals are probably the most difficult ones I did in my whole life :).The white on the body are not decals but painted.The result is just incredible.First primer,ten sanding,then masking,then spaying the light green,then masking again,then painteing the white,then decals and then the clear gloss coat to fix everything and protect my decals from time.This is a 50 hours builing kit and I am very sad to finish this build.It took soo long that it became like a good friend.This evening in put everything together and finally can enjoy the result.A great moment in a builders life.Thanks for all your previous vieuws and comments that are always very much appreciated.

Thanks fellow for all those nice comments that motivates me to show some building pictures.I just finished the model but have to whaite till tomorrow for decent light to take some pics.I will post them tomorrow.Those models were inspired by the catalogues and their famous dioramas.This one was on the front page of a early 80' catalogue and I always wanted to build one.This is a great moment to have it right next to me now.

Absolutely FANTASIC! Work pcw064 and it's patience, skill and time is where your rewards come from I proudly owned two Kawasaki Eddie Lawson KZ1000R Limited Edition replicas (#044 and #045) when these were being campaigned and Eddie even rode a factory bike like this at selected meetings. Unfortunately they were not quite as fast as the OW's that Kenny Roberts Senior and the NSR of Fast Freddie Spencer left them in the distance. 'Awesome model and work tho'
