1/12 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR - OTB

Well, I did some more work on the Ninja bike this weekend, so here's the latest update(s):

Most of the electrical wiring is now on place. There's still a few "stragglers" but they'll find a home soon!:

I've also gotten started on the Tamiya detail set for the front forks. The metal tubes look SO much better than I could get the plastic parts to look! :

The radiator also had some details added from the Top Studio set:

I'm not sure I'm happy with the way the exhaust weathering turned out. But hey..... it's all sealed now! The header sensor plugs are resin details from the TS set. They're next to be wired into the electrical sysyem.

Finally, a look at the exhaust/mufflers and radiator in place.....:

Looks awesome Dave. Those detail sets seem to be well thought out. They sure add that perfect look we all go for.

Dave this is all looking absolutley terrific buddie but I gotta be honest with you and agree that the exhaust staining is not right. Not your usual high standard my friend.

Hopefully this will be the last OTB pics for this bike. I've got 99% of the wiring done.....:

.....and the air box and rear seat back have received some 1/12 Scalemotorsport High-Def CF decals and a couple coats of Future:

Here's the body "tins" sprayed with the special "Limited Edition" correct Kawasaki green Tamiya , almost ready to apply those decals:

Finally, a couple of pre-final-assembly pics:

I hope to finish it up soon, so look for the NMA in a few days!

Awesome Dave. I don't know what else to say. Thanks for sharing this build with us. I learn something new everytime you share one.
