I've received Tamiya's new 1/12 Kawasaki ZZR 1400 kit which also builds into a (mostly) US version of the Ninja ZX 14. Tamiya includes white and silver Ninja decals for the fairing and tank, and Ninja ZX 14 metal transfers for the rear fender area.

A look through the box is as promising as any Tamiya bike I've built; nice detail and parts quality. I'll build it 100% box stock and it should be in Scale Auto sometime in the next few months. I'm going to start on it tonight :cool:

My plans are to paint it in a 2007 color called Candy Plasma Blue. I've got some ideas how I can match it with either Tamiya TS or Cobra Colors paints I have in-house. Bite your tongue if you even think about lime green on this one :D

I'm jealous. Mine will be stealthy. Satin black all over with red wheel rings and accents.

Appears like the motorcycle category will have some very interesting entries this year. Can't wait to see both of these.

I have a feeling I'll want to dive right into my Ducati 916 after finishing this...Tamiya bikes have that kind of effect...build all you want, they'll make more :)
