Hi all well I've detailed up the battery and added the upgrade kit decal (the smaller decal is the one that came with the kit.


I must say I am surprised with a kit of this size and price of the huge amount of missing detail, mostly seems to be wiring which surely wouldn't be that expensive to add to the kit.

Hi all started on the fuel system added the butterfly valves made from aluminium foil onto which I put brass leaf.


Then I cut it to fit

Then cut a piece of sprue then halved it.

Covered it with the brass leaf then drilled two holes and added a couple of screws

Hi all bit more added here (this is just the supplied detail loads of wiring and connectors still to add) ( I really don't know why they don't supply varying thicknesses of wire surly it wouldn't add more than a tenner to the cost of the kit)




As I said loads more detail to add but couldn't resist trying it on the engine.






Also got the tyres on the wheels (Man they are heavy, but great quality)

That is really amazing work Ken. I know it is huge and that means more detail is to be expected, but you have probably added another third of the detail on top. I like the speings on the exhaust and the brass effect on the  butterflies in the carb.

I can't remember if you like the blue  ok2

I've been quietly sitting here reading all the progress on this thread. It's a beautiful model, and the build is mesmerising. Keep it up!

Hi all here is the next bit the exhaust, let me tell you what a horrendous fit, had to use copious amounts of filler first really disappointing bit of the kit, Paul Koo suggests leaving the screws loose then adjusting the gaps by gradually tightening them whilst adjusting the gaps, well the best I managed to reduce it to was 2 mill for a kit of this price I think that is really bad.
Anyway here it is with all the gaps filled.










Not happy with the silver shields they look very plasticky (I know they actually are) will have to try and change that, I'm thinking of trying foil over them)

Would a subtle wash add a little patina to them so you get the realistic plastic look, but also a little more life in this area as well? I can't imagine they would stay prisitine for long being so near to a hot spot.

Looking fab as ever Ken,

Hi all well I couldn't resist putting together what I have so far.




This thing is huge. This is a 1/6 bike with a similar size engine.


And it's heavy.

agreed, very nice. Exhaust to warm your rear end as well. To think, all that for "suck, squeeze, bang and blow. A really nice project. nemesis

Hi all I've started on the wheels I've made up the disks

I've started weathering it


I've ordered some proper button head sockets for the disks instead of the screws that come with the kit (Another thing missing from the upgrade kit)

Hi all these are the screws that come with the kit.


At a huge cost of 3.49 for 20 including postage I think these look better


(Ron aka silver911 told me where to get them

Thanks guys.
Hi all here is the next update pocher would have you attach the rear sprocket like this


Thing is the rear sprocket is attached via nuts screwed onto studs so grubs screws were used to fix it.


Then a try of all we have so far.
