Hi all

First progress on this thingy.

TomN: This kit is only this bike. There is another Miniart kit with 2 bikes and figures, but I dont know if they are exactly the same and all the PE is included.

You really need good glasses, fine tweezer and Tamiya extra thin because the parts are very small.
There are some good build reviews available on Perthmilitarymodelling, IPMS and Armorama.
Use them !!

Here are the wheels, for the PE some jigs are provided on the sprue, including the spokes.
A must !

The central assembly

Im thinking about already do some painting, Im afraid some parts are hard to reach after the complete assembly.

Thanks for looking,

Willem

Very nice those wheels look great.

Nice to have some jigs included, takes the guess work out of folding and shaping. I would think painting would be required early on, I don't know how armor folks paint completely built stuff.

 

[SA Dave]

Youre not helping my wallet Willem That is looking GREAT

Hi all

Some more progress.

The bike is very good detailed, but still lacks wiring and plumbing.
Added spark cables, battery cables, clutch cable and backlight cables so far.
Still more to do (fuel hose, oil pipe, brake cable etc)

Another issue is the driver.
There are dozens of German drivers on the market, but only one US, as far as I know.
And that is the old Tamiya.
First a better resin head
Then it is seated, and I want one foot on the ground, so rebuilding the leg.

Thanks for looking,

Willem
