I built the Ducati a few months ago and at the time I thought painting it in the Troy Balis livery was cool idea but it wasn't received as well as I thought so I made a call to TB Decals and asked if they would convert the Martini livery they do for the 1/12 tamiya kit to my 1/4 Ducati. They said yes and now its part of their current product line so what your looking at is the first and currently the only 1/4 scale Ducati Martini on the planet. I used Gravity for all the paint because they had the Martini already so no brainer for me I use them all the time. I'm still learning how to do high end paint jobs so I was pretty happy with the results. Even though the decal kit came with nice graphic I decide to give it a try and I'm glad I did. There are still some minor flaws but overall I'm pretty happy with the new look. I'm just waiting on this new wax I ordered to show up and Ill be done.
How it use to look
And here it is now
