    1/12,Harley - Davidson,Black Sppecial / Fat Boy,

    this kit is by Harley-Davidson,
    This is, will BE, my second 1,12 scale bike,and made even more famous ,As the bike from terminator 2
    with guess who,Arnold Schwarzenegger and his Harley Fat Boy 1990,
    It was the last swap meet of the year and very lucky for me picked this up for $20.oo AUD,so one
    happy girl was I,
    made a bit of a start today,after doing the gardening,
    have primed the engine,and frame ,them a top coat of Vallejo,aluminum ,and a stain coat of black,
    so will start with the engine in the morning,
    hope you like my pick,and enjoy the build,
    the last pick is what I,m going for in a look for this build,
    and maybe next bike after this will be Darrel and his bike, from the Walking Dead start looking about for a bike and figure,

            I'm thinking part b7 might be part of the gearbox mounts. I'd go with black.

                    Good Stuff so far Monica. I'm watching this one.

                    I've owned a couple of Harley's in the past.............. They look great, really enjoyed riding them. But they are engineered for cr4p.

                        Monica part # b7 is the shock assy for the rear swingarm. The 'canisters' would be black as would the frame crossmembers molded to the part., the rest chrome.
                        Ridden and built Harleys most of my life, working in a custom chopper shop.
                        Going well!
