Italari 1/9 Triumph 3HW

Hi all here is the next victim to my bench I'm sure you all know me well enough to know it will be nothing like the box art.



Glued the tank halves together and made a start on the engine (detail is very crisp) but you need to cut the locating pins off as if you use them the parts dont align up very well (which is strange as once you've cut the pins off they align up perfectly)

just about to post my MV AGUSTA its the same, details are vague in a couple of places as well I put it down to Tamiya spoiling me!!!

Hi all more progress on this frame painted Ford squeeze green planing on doing the tank and panels yellow with white wheels, but that could all change.

Another update, I decided not to go with white wheels and decided to go with the frame colour also added some of the cables and the carb (dont like the cables far too shiny need to dull them down some how) I really love how the spokes are moulded, some of the best I've ever seen.

Wow , some great painting there Ken.
Love the engine esp .

Mine were terrible and the reason I re-spoked mine with wire on my one.
Nice job on the Yellow by the way.

Hi all more work on this.






After the airfix bently I dont care how bad spokes are I will never respoke anything.

Hi all work on the front forks, it's quite a complex system, bit like the dampers on older cars(did something similar on the mefistofeles)

 

[simontie]

Looks awesome love the colour

 

[Deleted member 3568]

More done to this (front wheel is only added for a look see, lots more to do before its finally added.
