Honda RC211V's - Konica Minolta & Fortuna liveries

[chrisga]

Not sure anyoen is interested but I just started making the above. One will be a stock out of the box build for the Konica Minolta Honda, and the other will be out of the box apart from it will be using the 2006 Marco Melandri Fortuna Decals.

Here are some progress pictures, I give them as much time as I can spare - which isnt a lot to be honest so they arent as detailed as some!



no you arent seeing double...









And this has to be the reason I like the Melandri bike so much (how much throttle control?)....

Very cool you big geek!

How do you get the squashed wasp effect on the rear hugger? Does it come like that?

Nope, the whole kit comes in pretty much 1 or 2 colours of plastic. Everything apart from the frame and swing arm are painted by hand (body panels sprayed with aerosol though sometimes). The carbon is a special sheet of decal stuff that you have to form round anything you want it to be on. Im not very good at that bit to be honest.....
