Revell Custom Chopper

[Modlbldr]

So, I just got 4 of these as parts kits from a guy. This is what I found in one.of the four boxes. Looking forward to doing something with it. Nice resin and custom parts. Let me know what you think and if you may have any info on who did the resin parts. Third pic is the resin rear tire and fender compared to the stock fender on the right.

Should make for a fun build! No idea on the resin, though...

I believe Andy Martin did the resin..

I've heard that name. Was he Aardvark resin, or something like that?

If you want to get rid of those four parts boxes, I'd love to have them. Looks like a fun build.

Doing some dry fitting of parts together tonight to see how things work since I've never built a bike before. Found that there was a resin intake/ blower system included with everything.

I realized while dry fitting that I got the trumpets facing the wrong way.

The handlebar setup had 10 pieces in a small zip lock bag. Hopefully I got them all in the correct order. Good thing I haven't glued anything yet.

You sure got your money's worth with these bikes.

Now that I finished my other chopper and enjoyed it so much I am going to start on this one. My plan is either a candy marbled green or candy marbled  blue paint job. Stay tuned for progress!
