I second that Ian.

Lovely metallic finishes again around the engine and framework. Absolutely superb looking model already.

Can almost smell the Rock oil from here!. I'm sure this was jap rider Abe's 2 stroke?
thanks Ian,Andy & Rich appreciate your kind words and yes Sarge thats Abe's old ride. I moved on to the tires while the paint was drying on some sub assemlies.
here they are untouched
then sanded with 80grit
next to simulate heat blueing I inked them with these sharpie pens
after applying
then I blended the ink and 'toned' it down with a soft cloth
so far its been a productive day of building
These are as good as your planes Trey. Nice metallic finishes. Superb looking bike
That's a great trick with the tyres there! If ever I get up the gumption to try a bike, I will have to remember that one.
