This was one of the first kits I bought and have put off building it for such a long time, it’s an old kit and king Kenny Roberts was one of my heroes when I was a teenager first spotted him in the movie classic "on any Sunday" (worth watching if you haven’t all ready)
I opened the box back in the spring just after the biker build off and have had very little time since, work commitments you know the story anyway dark nights and here we go again so I cleared out the workshop blew all the dust away and off we go just a couple of pictures of progress so far, I will say I have found this model a challenge so far, Mainly because the plastic parts are not as well formed as the newer kits (or is it just me?)
It’s going to be fun anyway.
THE BOX View attachment 36851
FRAME AND ENGINE View attachment 36850 i cut the plastic chain due to the fact I had not read the instructions the older one's don't have a split in them)
THE KINGS BODY AND FAIRINGSView attachment 36852 this is well and trully filled with putty set the arms to the handle bars before I attached the to the trunk the silver is just under coat to let me see the imperfections
Enjoy, comments more than welcome
