Testors Lincoln Mint Harley-Davidson FXSTS Springer Softail. Kit # 7201 Under Glass

[Nolan]

It's as finished as most projects get.  There are a couple of things I wanted to try, but they can wait for another day, another project.  Re-learning to the paint job took awhile and several baths in the stripper tank.  Much harder to do the masking for a scale paint job than for a full size one.  It came out looking pretty good for the first one in 50+ years.  I still need to learn how to do teeny tiny pin striping, if that's even possible to do.

Since it is titled Under Glass.  This shows the wire tying the stand to the frame and the screws holding the stand to the case.

Thank you.  Now I'm trying to decide whether to build the rigid framed chopped version of the Springer or build the semi-stock version of the Softtail Custom next.  I say semi-stock because there is no such thing as a 'stock' Harley two days after a new Harley leaves the dealership, IF it even makes it off the showroom floor without something being changed.  I picked up a couple of the Testor Lincoln Mint FXSTC Softtail Custom Kit #7205 on the cheap.  Both kits are missing the tires.(?)  I'm guessing because the flimsy boxes have end flaps, the tires are getting lost out the end flaps.  Tires are pretty easy to 3D model and I found some flexible black resin that I want to try.
