1:6 TAMIYA Harley-Davidson FLH Classic

[moon puppy]

I'm putting feelers out there for anyone who has seen or know of a build blog of this kit, or any of the Tamiya 1:6th Harley kits.

I snagged one at a the model show this weekend and I intend to build it for my brother-in-law, I need to get this right the first time and know up front the time frame I'm looking at. Thanks!

OK, next question. A quick google found nothing. Anyone seen a Roller Chain that would work on this?

Good, help me find a chain!

I just thought it would be neat to have the chain and sprocket work...no big deal if not.

 

[Iron Mike]

Strictly out of box Eric. I've never done one of these and I don't know what to expect so getting off the game plan is not in the future with this one. I have to have it ready for Christmas so I don't need to go down the creative license road only to hit a road block.

I think striping the chrome will be the first order of business.
