My falco will be magpie within the next 3 years.

Start collecting spare panels. I used the originals on this because they were battered and bruised.
The storm trooper was all spares :smt003 .
Jason who painted both bikes really knows his stuff. He paints show cars. I would recommend him to anybody :smt002

With the red bits, it's more like a great spotted woodpecker. But that's rather a mouthful.

Anyway, nice work, sir :smt023

Very nice work mate

Well done


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
