Triumph Tiger 100

I got a 1/8 scale sealed Revell of Germany Triumph Tiger 100 at a local show recently for $9!! So, had to go and get a Revell snap tight 1/8 springer softail kit to sttel some parts from.It aint a realbike unless is has some Harley on it.HEHEHEI will be doing a Dupli-color black and white paint scheme, old skool style.I am using the springer forks and cut down gas tank.Stretched the triumph front tire over the Harley spokes.Keeping the triumph rear tire and spokes.Will be wrapping the seat in leather.Will either cut the rear fender down, or swap and put the front fender on the rear??.I already have the frame painted black as you see.I cut the front mount in half and slid both halves into the tube.I can do this since this is a snap tight piece, the other pieces had mounting pins to help hold it altogether and I will add some Tenax to them.Keep posted as this one wont take too long!!

quick update.I lowered the front by cutting a scale 2" out of the forks.Lowered the rear by extending the rear lower frame raileds a scale 2".Will adjust difference in center post for chain mounts.Cut the harley tank down to a peanut tank.Still ahve to putty and contour better.Placed the front fender on the rear and made v bars to keep things straight.Need to shave the top of the forks to lower them.
