Ducati Desmosedici

Here's a build I feel obligated to do, since I own a few Ducatis.

The kit I'm starting with.  I'm also going to use the upgrade kit from Tamiya and a set of aftermarket decals for the tobacco sponsorship.

WHAT !?!? Paul building a 2whl model of a Duc?

  

Ha Ha Sam.....show me a 4whl model of a Duc


I did get the engine completed and the bodywork painted.

Lets see here, how are these....

The engine is looking good. What kind of Aluminum Paint did you use?

Buck, I used Testor's Metalizers.

Small update for now.  Engine is in chassis with airbox.

Nice subject Paul. While down in the Dominican I saw a couple Chinese knock offs of this bike, I had to get right up to it before I could se it wasn't a Duc.

Nice finds Sam.

Man, you do nice work!

Thanks guys !!


Another small update.

Great work Paul    Your on a roll !!

Thanks John....so I should keep rollin' then...............lol

I did some airbrushing today on the pipes with clear blue, clear orange and smoke.


I also got the forks together.

Looks great. Those exhaust pipes look perfect. Nice work.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet...

Andy...

Thanks guys !!

I did some more on the bike.  Since the pipes are done, they got installed along with the radiator, hoses and forks.

Sweet.

Thanks Buck.

I've spent some time decaling the parts.



I also got the rear shock together with the upgrade parts.

Paul, this is looking great. Red is the only colour for Ducatis. They sound like a V twin should should sound.


Cheers,

Chris

Chris...all four of my Ducatis are red.  Like you said...the way they should be.

I got it on its wheels tonight.

I just finished it !!!
