Loved building this one. One of my all time favourite race cars. First time using aftermarket SK decals as well, can't recommend them highly enough!

Revell 1/9 Ducati 996 Carl Fogarty '99 winner. This is a reboxed Protar kit and one of the simplified versions (the engine, suspension & swingarm are all one piece for example). It went together nicely enough, but the decals were awful. Really stiff and didn't want to conform. Setting solution didn't really touch them, so a lot of heat was used. The number 1 decal on the fairing took over and hour to apply, and it's still not perfect.

The model is also basically a repurposed version of the road-going bike, the fairing is wrong and there are vents where there shouldn't be, but it's a close enough representation for me.

First two tone build and I managed to make some mistakes with masking and overspray which needed to be corrected. All original decals, minus the one on the roof as I messed up the original, so used one from a KMP set I had. Glad I wasn't doing the whole car with them, not impressed!

Also I didn't realise the number panel on the door was translucent until it was too late, otherwise I would have painted a white panel for it.

There are some finishing issues I'm not happy with, one of these days I'll manage to finish a kit without any stupid mistakes! (also currently not fitted with the rear tow hooks and mud flaps..(may have forgotten those)
