Hi Mate,remarkable work you are doing there. Thw swing arm detail is fantastic. This model must have set you back a tidy penny. I cant belive that you can get bike models with this much detail in them. Well done on a fantastic job so far.

Andy

I'll second that. Good to see a bike build,something I've never done. Looks like a lot of fiddly bits but the end result is fantastic.

thanks for the kind words .yes lots of tiny fiddly bits lol

on to the front end

I had to cut away the plastic fork adjusters to accomadate the upgrade kit

I also broke off the brake fluid resevoir and had to fab up a new mount

heres the new mount made up from some stretched sprue

then on to the upgraded fork tops/adjusters

and ready for mounting up

I'm not a bike fan but that is really fantastic.

There's an awful lot of stuff about giving kits that 'homely, lived in look' with washes, weathering etc which has a place in modelling. We may not see it as much, but there's also a place for 'showroom finish' kits such as this.

I echo the words of Gern, this is suberb. I make 1/35 armour complete with all the muck and grime I can muster, but when I see something like this it really brings home what a truly wonderful full gloss finish can be achieved

This is a prefect example. My congratulations...
