Testors / Lincoln Mint Softail Custom

[bigfatforty]

This is my version of the Testors / Lincoln Mint 1/9 Softail Custom.  It's the first motorcycle and first large scale model for me.  Most of the modifications were made using kit parts.  The tank was narrowed and tunneled, the rear fender was cut down.  The seat was narrowed and sectioned.The exhausts use the kit pipes that were re-shaped with aluminum tubing. The extended fork tubes are aluminum tubing, the handlebars were made from brass rod,  the open primary belt, pulleys and clutch assembly were scratch built at was the air cleaner, tag bracket, brake light and a few other small parts.  Paint is T-14 Tamiya Black, some Alclad, and some Molotow.

Inspiration comes from my own bike and the incredible scale motorcycle creations of John Teresi.

Comments welcomed.  Thanks for looking.
