Ok guys, first parts have arrived and it's time to start the build All went together no problems, but one word of caution to anyone building this bike. The 2 Yamaha badges that go on the tank are moulded to the curve of the tank. Just thought i would point it out so no-one gets caught out Here's today's update: CaptnBirdseye attached the following image(s):

Alec Hi Alec, You're right it does differ slightly. I bought this kit through a company called RC Expertise, trying to get ahead of the game. It is basically the US kit. It differs slightly the contents in packs 1 and 2 (basically sequence swapped round). The rest is the same though . So far have received up to Pack 7. Awaiting delivery of the rest of the kit

Mick, Al, thanks for looking in and your comments. Always appreciated In this update, we complete Pack 4, which builds up both sets of the exhausts, adding the Lambda probes. The next stage, Stage 15 finishes the exhausts, adding springs and the tail-pipe. We then build the cylinder head cover up in Stage 16, and make a start on the instrument panel. This finishes Pack 4.
