Nice work! 👍 That looks like a really nice kit. Following! 🙂

Spanjaard
Excellent job so far. I am in too

Peter Hardy
I rode one or two of these around many years ago pretending I could be a 'b' grade trials rider. I'll be following!

Michael Gosse
Thank you guys for your comments. The reason why I am building this kit is, because I only had the 50ccm version some decades ago - but I always wanted to have the bigger one; so it did not happen in real life..........another reason for buidling this one is to trying out several natural metal finishes; for now I can recommend the XTREME metal colours.
I would be happy if you keep following

Peter Hardy
If you don't mind I'll take a seat.

Michael Gosse
I understand that; it looks so inviting in its sleak shape....

Spanjaard
The metals certainly look really good

Spanjaard
but i think you need to use something stronger to simulate the springs in the rear wheel. everything else look so good that those are kind of a pity....

Peter Hardy
Agreed. Some testing called for Michael.

Michael Gosse
Concerning the spring imitation you are surely right; being honest I knew it before; I guess this is going to challenge me building some more vintage bikes (this was my first one); what vintage bike kits would you propose?

Spanjaard
i think you used some really soft wire, try a harder one. simply roll it around some rod of the right size. i did that for example with the central shock absorber of my NXR

Michael Gosse
Tanks for that info, Tim. Yes that was the fault: the wire was too low dimensioned. Next time...
I really like your NXR: looks like being a real one (1:1) and the weathered look especially on the tyres!
All that makes me wanting to build some more bike kits. Thank you for your input.

Spanjaard
thanks. weathering almost ruined it completely, fortunately i saved it but effects are still visible
