The art work really says it all, and it is what got me in and to buy it, and at $27.00Au, its a bargain.
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/4/9/8/213498-14298-94-720.jpg)
The profile images on the instruction manual have everything clearly showing where all bits fit.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/4/9/9/213499-14298-81-720.jpg)
The"Exploded plan view" is well done and easy to follow and understand.

Side "A".The man, "At rest" and the detail of the clothing and webbing is exact, including the riders eyes, CLOSED. 🙂

Side "B".

![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/5/0/7/213507-14298-58-720.jpg)
Plenty of scope for some fine detailing, like clutch, brake and maybe, throttle cable.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/5/0/8/213508-14298-69-720.jpg)
Leather "Saddle bags" and the texture seems to be there. 🙂
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/5/0/9/213509-14298-67-720.jpg)
The 750cc Engine block.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/5/1/0/213510-14298-42-720.jpg)
The cylinder heads and barrels are really well produced.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/5/1/1/213511-14298-53-720.jpg)
The lower crank case and gear box unit.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/5/1/2/213512-14298-45-720.jpg)
Heavy duty canvas weather shield.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/5/1/3/213513-14298-47-720.jpg)
Final drive sprocket and chain guard (26) and 27 is the primary drive cover.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/5/1/4/213514-14298-13-720.jpg)
The cylinder barrel sections.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/6/5/4/213654-14298-22-720.jpg)
The eyes are certainly closed here
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/6/5/5/213655-14298-17-720.jpg)
The interlaced fingers are well defined and will require a soft clean of the seam lines.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/6/5/6/213656-14298-52-720.jpg)
The underside which will not be seen will still need a removal of the 'flash'/seamlines.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/5/1/5/213515-14298-94-720.jpg)
Front forks
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/5/1/6/213516-14298-51-720.jpg)

Build one of the earlier releases of this kit (without the figure) and it's a real gem! (check here for some WIP pics: Harley Davidson WLA | Project by TvD (1:35)).

Very nice idea and fine details. Seems to be a promising kit. Only the folded hands (photo no. 9) does not look as good as the rest.

It will be some time before I tackle these Gems guys, as I still have the 'Uhu' to finish and then, a huge project I have been asked to do, so, be patient lads. 🙂 👍

Thanks for those sprue shots, Kerry! MiniArt does impressive detail on their kits. A shame that to few of their products get the attention they deserve!
