Is this suitable for someone new to motorcycle kits?

This kit is better suited to modellers with some experience. New builders can attempt it but should expect to practice techniques like masking, small-part handling and decal work.

Do I need to buy paints separately?

Yes, paint is not included. Select gloss and matte paints as required for bodywork and mechanical components, and consider primers for best adhesion.

How durable are the finished decals?

When applied correctly and sealed with a clear coat, the decals are stable and durable. Avoid handling the model excessively and store it away from direct sunlight to preserve colours.

Can I add weathering to the model?

Yes, subtle weathering like light shading or small oil stains can add realism, but keep it restrained to match the race-presented condition of the bike.
