peteski Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I like that! "Civilized" version. I have a 1:43 kit of a military Harley, and I'm also planning on "demilitarizing" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Fantastic work with that clean build! One of the best "de-militarized" versions of that kit I've ever seen. Usual Boring History: When ESCI originally released those 1/9 motorcycle kits back in the early 1980s, they did a civilian version of the WLA-45 (and the 350cc British Triumph 3H). The civilian kits are VERY hard to find and expensive nowadays. And it doesn't matter much, since a good builder can convert them, as you did. Italeri also re-issued the military Triumph 3H-W, back around 2006 or so. Somewhere I have a really old article from a British modeling magazine. A builder used the same military WLA-45 kit you did, and built it as Lee Marvin's ride from the movie "The Wild One."

DougS Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Beautiful looking bike. I love the color scheme. Just picked up this kit and after seeing your build I'm inspired to try my hand at a civilian version also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
