The WLA as i said is a military version and has cut down mudguards but it looks like they are the originals cut down and not some different style
So.............. . i just had to see if it could be put right. Bit worrying because i would probably wreck the mudguards i have trying and then i would have to buy another kit just to scavenge the mudguards !!!
Here we go then
I dont think i can match that flair on the rear of the rear... but you can see what we are aiming for when compared with the supplied front
So i used some .3mm plastic card which is more accurate to scale than the kit mudguard which is 1mm. I know Harley's are heavy but to scale that would be 9mm thick
almost bullet proof
A little bit of filler and some tidying up round the edges and this might work. Really depends how it looks with paint...which sort of shows up a load or problems usually. I bought some Mr Surfacer a while back and i have never used it so wondering if this is a use for it ?

I am using Revell spray chrome but i know it takes 2-3 weeks minimum to go off so i ahve done a few parts and put them away for the future
I have done the back wheel so they are both done and i have also done the rear mudguard
and i gace it some paint to see if i have the join between sides and top good enough
I think this will be ok no one has telescopic eyes so 1:1 it will pass muster.
I will need to make my own decals for the tank Harley logo, it would be nice to add some pin stripes but i cant do them as my printer is not up to it.
I still dont really have a plan for how this is going to look. I think i will need to make headlamp brackets etc as the military ones in the kit are really crude. I think i will look at the engine next. Not sure what i will do there, obviously olive drab all over isn't going to work and i dont think the civy version came with a thompson SMG and holster
