Just come across this bad boy !!!!! What a cracking job so far..


Can you not try getting in touch with the manufacture for spare decals? Just a thought as I know Revell etc do this service


Looking good

A bit more progress with this .......... Finished what was supposed to be metallic black, But it looks like a dark Gunmetal to me. Anyway, I'm reasonably happy with the finish. I lost count how many coats of red, Gunmetal and lacquer I did, flatted down between each one. All brush painted. Front forks are done. I need to paint and fit the radiator / oil cooler before they go on............. Then there is a "Plethora" (good word huh?) of itty bitty detail bits to do brfore it all goes together.

Have to admit that your metalwork and paintwork is awesome and so life like ( looks so real )


I really like the bodywork too, nice shade.


The " plethora" of itty bits..... That's good wording ( "not just lots still to do") Very impressed with this

That'd be brilliant if you're sure you don't want it ......... I'll cover the postage, I'll stick some cash in an envelope and send it up to you.

As you are into WW2 armour I have a 1/35 Italeri Panther Aus F /G kit I'll never build ....... It's complete apart from the tracks., but there are loads of aftermarket tracks on evilbay ...... If you want it you can have it as a swap..

Thanks for your kind comment Ralph............ I'm not 100% happy with the gunmetal but it'll do.

Yeah, some of those bike decals are just outrageous and terrible to place.......
