Started this one as well it is a shaft driven opposed 4 cylinder motorcycle circa 1938. I am doing a civilian version my hope is to make it look like the one in the third photo below

Zundapp was a major German manufacturer in the 1930's as far as I know this was strictly their own design. I don't know what it weighed but with the pressed steel frame and 4 cylinder with a shaft drive it was fairly advanced for it's time.

I made some progress on the engine shown on a US Penny for scale. Not super happy with the plug wires but I will live with them still need to do some detail painting

You're off to a great start.  Should be a real stunner when you are finished.

Thanks. Engines done it's a bit hard to photo as it is the size of a US penny. Starting the wheels now each one is 8 parts that make a sandwich (5 wheel/tire slices, 2 photo etch spokes, 1 hub) the engine was actually 15 parts

I went with a Revlon color called Copper Penny. Still working on getting the thinning mix correct for brush painting but it looks very sparkly in person
