    Done this a few times so know its failings but still a fun kit and perfect for this gb

    Plan is black frame.....metallic black body work including mud guards.....some bits will get dechromed and resprayed.....some bits will go gold

              My way of doing a bike is to do mimimum essential assembly then paint everything.

              Then its assembly as if its a real bike

              engine is done and ive started on the frame

                        Good choice and that engine is looking very smart.

                                That’s coming along very nicely indeed Paul.
