Modlbldr Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I bought this as a started project and never having owned a motorcycle or having built a kit I tried my best to figure out how it went together. The previous builder customized the frame and added some turned aluminum parts. I did a custom paint job using three color layers and decals between the second and third. I also airbrushed many of the parts with Molotow Chrome. I made the lip for the front fender to match the rear and made the seat. I really like how low this bike sits and the overall look. One of the pics includes a stock kit frame for comparison. I hope you.like it and I am looking forward to finishing the second customized one I got.

Claude Thibodeau Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hi! Great work. I'm finishing one right now, and I know the basic kit has many shortcomings. Yours is world class, bravo! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Gorgeous build. I have a bunch of the Revell chopper kits and 2 boxes of parts if you're ever looking for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to get 7 parts kits that included 3 frames and 3 sets of tires. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good call on the chrome brake disc. Don't know why I didn't think of it. I'll have to see if I can get a brush in there. I'll definitely change that on my next one.
