I used to have time for this, but those days are long gone, what with translating Japanese service manuals and running websites etc.!

Thanks for sharing that Andy. I'm a modeler as well, but I have had no time in several years. I probably have $2,000 worth of unbuilt kits. The last bike I was working on was a Protar Gilera. Now I work mostly on 1/1 scale.

What you need to finish it off Andy is a bit of thin black wash to pick up the details on the clutch/forks etc...
