Finally dig into this box and what a lovely little kit. Got a quick start on subassemblies.

I have found some time to get back to the bench. Got stuff ready for priming and painting. And took care of the seam on the 2 piece fuel tank. Have to go through my paint color options tomorrow and see what choices I have.

Finally!
It is a very nice fitting kit, isn't it?

It goes together beautifully. At least the subassemblies I've already got together. It's a gorgeous little kit, that's for sure. Hopefully I don't muck it up too badly.

Small update. Decided to go with an incredibly old rattle can of "burgundy metal flake" by model master as the main color. We shall see how it progresses from here.

And now we're starting to assemble some pieces so it may resemble a motorbike soon!! Fun little kit for sure.

Mmm, It seems I need to get to the painting stage too.

Indeed Martin!! I'm just glad to finally have gotten some time to start gluing and screwing stuff together. 😂

Drilled holes in all the brakes too, following the example of you chaps. That's a first for me, normally I just roll with the molded divots. 😂 Couldn't very well do that when everyone else is drilling holes.

Here we are again. Work and Personal life has been taking up all my time. After far too long I have made it back to my bench and even accomplished a thing or two. Waiting on some things to dry and then will screw the swing arm onto the chassis. About to paint my secondary color on my fuel tank as well.

And now I have a 2 wheeled motorcycle. Coming together. Fun little kit. Still need to get around to a second color on the fuel tank. Perhaps tomorrow.

Tom ...
yeah, life (well work actually) is kicking my butt. Hopefully in a week or three I can get some bench time in...

Tom, it really needs to let me get to my hobby and leave me alone. 😂😂 I haven't had hardly any time to work on stuff.

Well, I've managed to get this thing slapped together! Thanks so much for the invite. Painted with some leftover cans of paint I had laying around, that was how I chose my colors. I had a really good time with this build and may try my hand at another motorcycle or two. I elected to use the blank instrument panel and left the kit chrome, as I thought it really looked pretty nice! Should take it outside for some better pictures! Maybe if I get some spare time.
