Wow,,great stuff!

Thanks Mike,,two wheel madness has always been one of my fav hobbys,,both 1:1 bikes and the kits. Thanks for looking,,cheers!

Thanks,,I havent done the Mini 70 Trail bike yet,,the Tamiya 1/6 MX'r is going to be really cool,,I may post a build thread,,but it would take up alot of storage space in the forum,,so Ill see how it goes. The Rupp bike would be fun to do also. I have almost every Tamiya off road bike kit and many street bikes as well built +unbuilt.
-
hey,,thats pretty wild,,I hear ya about doing "other" kits,,,,I like doing Sci-fi kits once in a while,,and military jets+planes,,,yours will great for sure.
-
Thanks so much,,its tricky if your going to use both versions,,the biggest prob is the front 1/4 panels,it comes w/2 different styles,,and neither mated up cleanly to body edges,,thats why I just used 1 version,,glued panels in,,putty,,,sanded,,,ect to get front to look decent. And the 2 panels didnt really have alot of difference to them for the most part. One had more frontward placement for wheelwell than the other,,thats it. Good luck on yours!
-
yea I hear ya about the x-tra work to make things fit right,,I did have to use flat jewlers files to flatten mating surfaces on many pcs and had to jump around on assy steps to get mtr in,,back wheel w/chain and brake assy.,,,,but I really like the large scale bike kits, and they dont re-pop many of them.,guess thats why I consider it a "great" kit. maybe not so much the actual mfg part of it. With that said,,one of my next large bike kits to hit the workbench is the 1/6th TAMIYA Yamaha 250 YZ MX'r,,,now that should be a whole different animal as far as fit and assembly I would think. Good luck on yours!

Whoa! Really great ,clean scooter. Love those colors.

Yea,,I havent seen too many post about a final build of this one,,Im surprised ,,,its a great kit,,the front rotor+caliper assembly is tricky,though ,I had to install rotor to forks first,, up and in the caliper assembly,,and then insert front wheel,,and the stock kit gauges/speedo/tach were clear w/markings molded into,,looked ok,,but I replaced w/decal gauges from leftover decals bx from older kits. I left off the rear footpegs,,they mounted to the exsaust at rear,,didnt look all that great,,I may modify the rear footpegs+mount to frame as if they were folded up in the non-use position. Also added the cross bar support to handlebars,,gives it a Scrambler/GP look,,IMO. Look forward to seeing yours when you get it done! Thanks for looking.

thanks so much,,yea,,I was trying to find pics of the 1:1 car on web before build,,,and theres hardly any pics of it,and I read that MPC commissioned Ohio George to build this car to promote the kit! I think the 1:1 car ran for only or a year or so. Thanks again
-
LOL,,yea I thought that when I first opened the kit also. I considered cutting it out,,but decided to just go with it. It is strange though
-
Neat set of bowties!

Aunt Ruth would be proud! Nice clean mopar

UUUmmm,,,??? I see a bit of squeeze,,not too much,,these came over from PB,,overall they look ok. Thanks for the comments,,I build ok stuff,,but theres way better in here than my stuff,,which is cool by me! Thanks again.
-
Thanks Cobra,,enjoy your work as well!
-
LOL,,yea the "wing" it came with a small wing type object molded on but,,it needed more down force! Thanks for looking,,so many great builds here,yours included! Cheers,,S

Hi all,,got this for 15$ at a recent swap meet,,neat kit,,had to change a few things,different back tires,opened up hood and removed the "scoop" that was hiding the big 429,,{had to be able to see that} it came as a "adjustable" wheel base to put it in different classes,,but as I mocked up the 2 different versions,,neither one was convincing looking. So I just picked the longer wheelbase version and went with that. Still had to dremmel open the front of the front fender inner twords front of car to fit the longer wheel base And added some x-tra "wing" to the trunk deck.. Other than that,,its bx stk,,w/a few lines hooked up. I dont have very many Mavericks in my collection,,so had to do this one. Thanks for looking. Cheers!
