Sounds like it might be worth me spending some time on this, thanks.

I will improve the graphics and the matt finish then offer some on here. I believe the 650 & 1000 frames are either the same or very similar around the heel area? If so then these will fit 04-12 models

They look a good idea

I'll have a pair please.

Great.

Just what we need another meglamaniac that makes brilliant stuff at realistic prices.

I'd be interested if you could do the same for the Glee

Took it for its MOT, It passed with flying colours so I rode it to Chorley for some fish n chips.

Well done SimStrom. Fish n chips are never a bad move.

Added new decals today. Probably going to be a bit like marmite for some.

I like it. This is a serious question, rather than my default attack on that shape, is there something you could add to the graphics to disguise the beak a bit?

Webofdoom · « **Reply #8489 on:** August 05, 2018, 18:56:37 »

Thanks. After I'd blacked it it didn't stand out anywhere near as much as it did silver or the red it is now.

I like Webofdoom

I have been playing in photoshop to recreate these graphics below that I found on an American site... With a few custom changes

Webofdoom · « **Reply #8491 on:** August 05, 2018, 20:05:44 »

Looking good.

. Probably should have gone that route myself as the kit I used wasn't quite right so had to do some changes to get a better fit. ????

tallpaul · « **Reply #8492 on:** August 05, 2018, 22:02:47 »

I like those! They make the classic Strom seem more modern. The Model D variant would have looked nice on my old ak9. I wonder if any kits are available for the super tenere...?

graingerblaze · « **Reply #8493 on:** August 06, 2018, 08:38:39 »

I really like them, marmite I'm sure but if I ever get time to re-create them and get some made I will do. The American site that was originally selling them seems to have disappeared, I have looked all over but have decided I will have to make some if I ever want them

I got mine from an Italian website. They did all sorts of styles/colours/designs for the marmite lovers!

Excellent, if you get a chance could you let us have the website link please?

I've found some for the super tenere!

Just a heads up. As I said mine wasn’t the best of fit that’s for sure, but with a few changes it is pretty good now. I wrapped each side of the tank in white first and blacked out the silver at the front as didn’t think it would look right with the silver showing around the edges. Then a few cuts here and there to the decals for a better fit.
