Hi Chaps, while looking for some Soviet aircraft decals I found this box at the bottom of the pile.   Some of you might remember I started this many years ago on one of the now defunct forums we had at some point. I've already built some of the frame, bodywork and donk plus added some detail missing from the kit so I'll take some pics of this at some point to refresh our memory. This will be a slow burner but as its been in the box for the last 8 years or so that won't be a shock I'm sure  |

Thanks chaps Here's a few pics of what's in the dusty box...dusty parts! Bodywork that's in need of a top coat  Some wire detail added to the battery and rectifier assembly plus a brass throttle sync bar to the carbs   Time to wash the parts in warm soapy water to remove the dust and then let's see what's next. |

Added some details to the donk such as fuel drain tubes to the carbs and braided hose oil tubes. These add a bit of colour too. I've decided to go for a glossy black block with titanium gold case covers as I'm aiming for a used but loved look to the finished build. Not a full custom or race rep, just a bike with a few extras.  
More when I can friends |

Great subject and probably the only Tamiya 1/6 bike I haven't built.
Look forward to more.
