Very good! Love the dust on the contact patches of the tires - excellent attention to detail! Although the routing of the rear-brake line looks wrong - if I remember correctly it was routed along the swinging arm. Yes, I know, I'm a rivet counter...  A friend of mine had the 1000cc version (very rare, a homologation special built in very limited numbers). She thought the electronic revcounter had stopped working - on closer inspection we found a tiny spider had got in and made a web connecting to the needle, stopping it from moving  |

Dierk, many thanks for the remark! I have built model according to the instruction of TAMIYA and didn't penetrate into nuances of the original. I love "motorcycles" on 4 wheels, with a roof, heating of seats, climate control and so on

Nice work. Looks pretty good. I know this bike well. Had one for a while back in 1984.

My 2003 Superglide has a small web on the speedo needle but it doesn't stop it working. Don't know how the spider got between the face, the casing and the glass but he got in, did his business then left again. |
