WOW nice work. Where did you find that battery?

Nice work

I forgot to mention I put a Weber carb on it and taped the pipes with Tamiya masking tape and painted the tape aircraft gray.

Great job!

Thanks for the info. Well worth the price IMHO.

Nice work. What does a kit like that cost if you don't mind me asking?

...although not very well.This is a Harley Chopper by Revell I have been working on. It's the second model I have built in 25 years and the first bike.I made a lot of mistakes and had to disassemble almost the whole thing after not being able to fit the oil tank in the frame.It was a definite learning experience. I probably shouldn't have tried to do so much detailing and should have just built the basic model.Some of the stuff I did extra is cut the forks in half and use ball point pen springs as springers then re-assemble.I cut the stock seat way down into a bobber seat and Funny Furred it.Most of plumbing and wires are there. I was going to plumb the rear brake but I got so sick of this model I just wanted to get it done.I did learn I will never use enamel paint again. I finally gave up on that and sanded it down and used Plasticote black metalflake that came out gray.I managed to break the kickstand off right before the pictures so I used a paint bottle to prop it up.

awesome build very clean

As a Vietnam Vet all I can say is AWESOME.

That skull looks great on the tank.

I'm just about to finish a 1/12th Revell chopper and was looking on ebay for my next one and spotted this one also. Looks like a nice build with lots of neat parts.

I thought that looked familiar ....hey Tyrone it's me Bear from the FB model pages. It looks even better with bigger pics!

I was a crew chief on 34's in the Marine Corps . I have that kit but haven't built it yet but I did notice that Revell has the tail rotor blades backwards.The leading edge should point aft.Nice build though Ray, the kit looks hard to me and you did a good job.

All of them are awesome

sweet need an oil puddle under it for authenticity

Clean , nicwe!

Thanks John

awesome

Fantastic work! Where did you get the hardware that held the brake lines?
