bisc63 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Ha! Yeah, it's a weird camouflage effect that makes the model hard to see; they blend together! (My eyes are really sensitive to things like that) Love the builds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Nice job on all those. Since I found and built the 959, and discovered the Unimog race truck, I've been a fan of sorts of this race. Can't imagine riding a motorcycle all that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intmd8r Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 nice work - very accurate to the real deal. Had the pleasure of touring the KTM assembly plant in Austria a few years back and saw these touring bikes (and other models) assembled in person. What a facility - the cleanest manufacturing plant I have ever seen, second to only to Toyota. Love the quality control: EVERY engine is strapped to a diagnostics machine and run at WOT for full 20 minutes. If there is a slightest vibration or RPM out of spec, then it doesn't see a bike chassis. When the bike is completed, it is driven off the assembly line and on to a chassis dyno where it is hooked up and again ran at WOT for 15 minutes. If everything is in spec, then its ridden (hard) out of the plant. Would have taken pics, but we had to sign an agreement preventing us from doing so. Thanks for sharing your model!
