Very nice,,I thought it may have been a Vincent at 1st look,,but not so. Nice bike -
Great build,,that would make a cool flattrack bike

My,,what a time trip back for this one. Always enjoy the big scale bike kits,,and was glad to see this one repopped. I changed the paint scheme a bit,,added some x-tra wiring,,changed the footpegs to some Harley gear. Hope the kit mfg's keep up the big scale bike kits. Wonder if this was ever a 1:1 bike on the show circuits?

I enjoy building jets,,planes and auto/trucks kindof breaks the pace a bit,,and many of the jets/planes are easier to build,,IMO

Howdy folks,,long time no see,,well as far as posting that is. The shut downs havent shutdown my building bench thats for sure,,always have somthin goin on. So this is a kit I,picked up last NNL show in detroit{before all the cvd BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH started} its the Tyronemalone SuperBoss drag truck. When I got the kit I saw the paint/decal work required,,and wow,, big job for sure,,so I decided to do my own type of paint/decal work,,simplified it for my skillset. There was no way I could have done the exact paint/decal as the box art shows. At any rate,,there were some fitment issues with the kit,,like the exhaust exit spots at the hood,,had to dremmel some space for those so hood would fit right. Also scrtchbuilt stronger spar supports for rear wing,,cut the side windows out to see interior better. Other than that,,bx stock. its still was a fun kit to do,,and looks decent on the shelf,,and thats all I really need from it. Wishing you all the best in these crazy times. S

@ DonW Ok,,what year is the FiFi? Looks to be from the 20's or 30's era. I still cant believe they would drive those open top,,no roll bars,,leather helmut +goggles . And people right along side of the tracks w/haybales for retainers!

Cool cat! looks like it could have been a regular raced car at any track,,nice job
-
That kicks ass!! really cool idea blending the 2 kits. neat
-
Really nice,,ironic,,this is the one Im workin on right now,, question: Did you use the kit supplied rear tires? The ones in my kit look a bit small for it.

Thnx folks,,yea its not a contest car,,nor is it "correct" paint scheme,,but it does look good on the shelf,,Build on! and be safe out there

lol,,racing the runways,,theres a story behind that headlight. The angle it points in is the exact angle that the original fairing pointed,,so it kindof transitioned that way. I guess the rider wanted to dodge all the insects when night racing,,sortof like a 150MPH bug light. And to avoid being a landing point for planes at the airport,,lol https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-h-1236-honda-drag-custom-bike--1160479 the headlight actually is supposed to be in the front portion of fairing as a flip up/down hideaway style,,so I just put in in the triple clamps of forks

Turned out quite nice,,I dig the woody theme ,,goes with the color well
-
whoa! thats gonna be awsome

What’s your most and least favourite task?

So true for me also,,I try to detail rally wheels,,and theres a trick to it for sure to make them look good. Wish I had a lifetime supply of SS Cragars -
Thanks so much folks,,it is one of the strangest kits Ive come across,,pretty rare,,and expensive on ebay if you see one at all.

skymnky721 replied to skymnky721's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks you all,,I would like to do more trucks,,I do have the Tyrone Malone drag truck to do soon,,so well see what that entails. I was looking at the box art/pics,,the paint job will surely be a challenge thats for sure. Looks like a fun one to do though.Thanks again,,,,S -
Hi all,,hope alls well for ya during this madness we see around us everyday,,I guess we all get more time to build during this,,the plus side I guess. So,,dug this out a few weeks ago,,Revells Street burner series 70' Superbird. Painted with Testors quikdry rattle can,,,some minor wiring/plumblng,,added a hood scoop{it looked kindof neat when I mocked it up} Hand painted all else. Funny though,,there was no Rdrunner cartoon decal for the side rear wing spars/supports,,maybe a licensing thingee. Anyways,,stay safe,,and enjoy whatever building you do get a chance to do.

There both good,,but the little debbies are generally cheaper,,I dig the "swiss rolls" and zebra cakes
