Thank you Alex!

Is this dryfitted right now? You have a lot of painting to do and if it's assembled I'm not sure how you're going to paint like the chrome spokes with it inside the frame like it is.

Yes, the bike will break down into sub-assemblies for ease in painting.

I will post in-progress painting photos for sure.

Thank you Randy.

Yes I'm getting into it. It has been over a year since I finished (paint and weathering) a project.

I went to the Hobby Shop for some fresh paint to help with the process. .

Take care.

A serious scrubbing with Windex is a MUST after each acrylic painting session.

No, I do not shoot any oil/lacquer base paint thru my precious GREX. That is sacrilege. I will save the "trashy" airbrushing for my Iwata, Tamiya or Wren airbrushes.
