up date. This is how board I got, I decided to count how many holes there are on the brakes on the front, when I drilled them out there are 64 holes on each side making 128 in total how sad hey.

As Ian said very colourful although not sure you could get coloured rubber hoses and they would be matt if you could. Definitely different and I like different.

You can certainly get coloured silicone hoses for many cars, and they're glossy. Don't know about bikes though I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be available.

That frame looks very familiar but which bike escapes me at the moment.
Great progress Jim.

Wow!!

Can I ask which colour you used for the chassis? Looks really good with an excellent smooth finish...

polux it all ready came chrome when you by the model kit of your choosing. I broke all rules of modeling like my brother said pete quote " Jim do what I do scrap the official colour scheme and do whatever takes your fancy." So I did.

Oh my god! I’ve been fascinated by the normal chrome on the kit....
Maybe it’s time to leave the modelling and start new activities lol
