LEGO Ducati

[patw]

Having had my new LEGO Ducati delivered last week, I thought I'd start building it. Here we have the frame, engine, gear box, rear swinging arm, with mono-shock suspension and rear hub awaiting the rear brake disc. It's good to realise when turning the parts connected the two white rubber bands the V-four cylinder engine and pistons pop up and down in the cylinders. About 100+ parts already used.

Here we are again, with most of the work done including clipping together a 35 link chain, but realising that on trying to build the last important piece, the nose with windscreen, that two parts are missing! So ordered those today from LEGO by email and had that confirmed by return, waiting 10 minutes on the phone for customer services to answer is not a good idea. So hopefully the parts won't take too long. When I built the Land Rover Defender the missing parts on that one came from Sweden.



Yes the chain drives the rear wheel and the engine pistons pop up and down in correct firing order, all front and rear suspension and steering works fine.

PS I've just measured it, requested on another site.. front of front tyre to the back of the back tyre 31cm, 17cm high at the fuel tank and 9cm wide across the fairing.

I've always like these advanced skill LEGO kits. I finished the Shelby GT500 over X-mas. Hopefully your replacement parts show up early so you can finish it.

They tell me the parts will be here in 9-12 working days.

Finished the LEGO Ducati Panigale V4R
The two pieces that were missing from the kit arrived yesterday, so I finished it today around the front fairing and added the Ducati 'stickers' that are sticky and need to be placed right first time.
