so here it is. HEEAD MY WORDS - this kit is a pain in the butt. i never really did models before but i couldnt resist the 8 dollar deal i saw at 'toys r us'. 1st time i was in there for at least a decade.. either i have fat fingers or they are expecting to much out of me.

Anyone else notice that the real bike doesnt have the heavy bracing present on the model bike? Not even the 04's and 05's have bracing that heavy.

The swing arm is modeled after the 750.
I bought several kits at Toys-r-us a while back:
Ducati 999

That's a pretty cool model. I prefer plastic over the diecast, there are all kinds of possibilities that you could do with it. Here is one of my latest.

ok, now get your paints out, exacto knife, emery boards (nail file) and clean up the plastic flashings and mold marks. like the hole on the end of the exhaust can. ream one out, smooth the mold mark and repaint. grab some LED's and a watch battry and hook it up. sand the tires down a little to get rid of the Gloss on the tread but leave the sidewalls alone. mask off the body work and spray the bottom of the fender areas with flat black. and paint the chain links yellow or black but leave the pins chrome. Toothpicks are great for detail work like that. slice them a little and dip the slivered end into the cap of the paint. i used to make my own detail brushes with small pinch of hair glued to a toothpick.
