Harley Davidson FLH80 Electra Glide

[PaulTRose]

Revell 1/12th scale Harley FLH-80 Electra Glide


being done for a Motorcycle GB elsewhere


old kit from the early 80s, not sure if the decals are going to hold up, comes with a little pit bike so might throw that together too just for a laugh


not sure yet what the colour will be, since its a Glide blue might be an idea lol, but it will probably be red


i did try starting this a few years ago, didnt like the colour i used on the tank, fairing, etc and put it back in the box.........ive stripped it back and plan another go

just to show i am doing stuff lol


im at that stage where im sorting out all the bits and painting them prior to assembly


the body work has had a couple of coats of vallejo scarlet red topped with some gloss

put the frame together tonight....one of those jobs where you need 3 hands to hold it all together


[ATTACH]108956.IPB[/ATTACH]



been tinkering with the little pit bike........gave it a coat of metallic purple.....just the grips and the screen to add, then some decals....thinking of going thro the decal stash for some race numbers and logos to tart it up

swinging arm done and in the frame


ive got most of the engine done, just about to re-chrome the air filter cos this kit has some of the crappiest chrome ive seen in a long time

[Guest]

Looking forward to seeing your chrome, I need to keep an eye out for what will look right on my r32 model in the future for the chrome grill which has a sort of satin finish not like full on chrome.


So far your bikes are looking sweet..

[PaulTRose]

bit more done


must admit this isnt as easy as a Tamiya bike kit....taking a bit of persuasion to get things to fit

That's a beast of a bike and the glide is not a light bike I can tell you ( personal experience) ( old biking days )


I'm on board for this one
