Builds into a decent kit , there's decent amount of detail to make this interesting Andy.

Looks like a nicely moulded kit and looking a nice build so far.Comment

Hi Outrunner,
The amount of details is pretty amazing, especially the engine. Will you be customizing it?Comment

If you mean adding extra bits then no, I am building it out of the box with just a paint job to finish it off. Not decided on a colour yet as most of the pictures I can find are of either renovated and nicely painted or well rusty/chipped machines, we shall see how I feel when it is built.

Hi Andy
Neat building and it is showing some fine detail.

Thanks all for the comments, I know I moan a bit about fiddly, fragile parts but I do like building them as the time passes very fast when you are concentrating hard to get it all together. Not too long before I have to start on the tracks, 32 links per side and each link has 3 parts, I can hardly wait! :smiling5:

Well, it's been a while since I did anything with this model, what with the weather making my attic workshop too warm to work in and me losing a bit of interest in modelling so I went out and bought a new motorbike, as you do. :smiling5: After spending a few weeks playing with that I have now got back to the workshop at last.
Tracks under construction, what a pain they are too so I am just sticking them together with glue as there is no need for them to be movable as the drive sprockets are fixed in place so I reckon if I glue the top run with slowish setting glue I will be able to introduce a bit of sag in them.
I should get this finished up before too long and then decide on a colour scheme.
Oops, nearly forgot, so here is a picture of my new bike if anyone is interested.

Both look good, best thing In my mind re the tracks. Love the bike, have fun .Comment

Slowly getting there only the lights and PE straps on the fuel tank to fit before priming.
You can not see it in the pictures above, but this lettering on the rad was a bit tricky to do.
I have not decided on the colour yet as most of the pictures I have found of the real thing are either freshly restored grey or scruffy, rusted grey, what does the collective think?

Thanks John, I have looked at a lot of videos/pictures and grey seems to be the one to go for.
Cheers Chris, the bike is a Royal Enfield 350cc classic, big enough for riding on back roads.
