Hello.......thank you all for your kind comments........I airbrushed the graphics on the panels......I used Tamiya clear red, Tamiya clear blue,H.O.K. kandy organic green........and fogged the edges with H.O.K. black......and shaded the scrolls on the tank and fender with a fine ink marker 000.5 pen......I will clean up the edges and give it a clear coat today......thanks for looking.
