Hi Bob, i have put the process on large scale models but not here as i have done it lots of times before but i can add if anyone is interested

I decided i needed to do this properly for my own satisfaction so will be adding metal spokes. As you can see i have already done the front but as i was a bit doubtful if this was going to work i chose to do the second wheel separately and i am glad i did as there are some improvements to...

Looks very do- able Saul.Canopy might be tricky

Another protar kit i have has shed some light on the multimedia thing as there is an advert leaflet in one of the boxes Notice this list contains "plasica" models and ""Metallo" model motorcycles but it also creates more confusion because for example under Metallo models is a NS 500...

Well i have retreated back into my comfort zone having got a bit of a bloody nose with WnW 🤣 My pre planning has gone out the window as looking in the box the wheels really are not too bad. My plan to lace them with metal spokes is on hold now. Normally the problem with spoked wheels on bikes...

The box contents are pretty std, we have a rubber fret which is interesting as it includes parts for a Suzuki and a Kawasaki 🤣 there is an abundance of chrome though almost none on the original bike and the rest is grey and black engine a frame parts Another oddity is the instructions...

AJS 7R, 350cc single cylinder race bike from around 1959. So here we have a Protar model motorcycle. Founded in 1963 in Bologna by Tarquinio Provini, a famous motorcycle Grand Prix racer , they produced a wide range of motorcycle kits of the era and later branching into GP cars. Sold out to...

I think the seats look odd because they dont have the frames attached

That coaster looks life size as i see them on the horizon :-) Good luck with the masters Chris

Brilliant job Bob :-),

Very nice , stowage really sets it off, your fabric finish is also very convincing.

Innocraftsman £123.00 Cyprus trading £58.00 Amazon £22 Innocraftsman £32 I have looked very closely at these pictures and most of the other items on Innocraftsmen site and they are identical .

I tend to agree with Paul, its not so much what you plan to do with a tool like this, its more about the possibilities it opens up in future. If you have a problem solving mind like me this is more ammo in your arsenal :-) but you have to be realistic. As i mentioned above my point here was...

Agree but my point was they were exactly the same product made by the same people but one was 10x the price of the other

The only reason i thought it was AI was the box art..but i think he has just reduced and printed originals and stuck them on the plain boxes.

I built the Spit at the beginning of the year having memories of an excellent kit but i reality it was a bit disappointing 20 years on. Very soft on detail and missing some key detail all together. I have always been a fan of Aires and Eduard but you have to go in with your eyes wide open...

Looks good Piet and at £100 its the same price as a 1/32 Tamiya Spitfire and looks a lot more detailed. 1/32 is unusual for Eduard is it not ? also nice to see a pilot included.

I think , in reality its AI.

yea i was thinking 40 holes in a wheel rim with 5 different directions and angles for the spokes however its probably easier to just drill holes a little over size and angle the spoke that way........................its just not correct.

Its exactly what i was looking for but i cant justify even £40 really
