Spotted this set Bilek 889 - Harley Davidson WLA (1/35) at Jadar hobbies and am wondering about the quality, can it be tarted up convincingly?

Set includes:

Old Italeri plastic molded kit
2 motorbikes in set
2 scale figures

I presume you mean this one Pat...



I didn't realise Italeri did a Harley in this scale...I can only remember the Tamiya MP set.
Still, Italeri's motorcycles were always better than Tamiya's so these might be worth a go.
Just add some cables to the handlebars and if you feel really brave maybe some etched spokes...

Yeah that's the one Iain, I presume I can throw the figures away but the motorbikes could add interest to a dio.

You might be able to use the figures if you swap out the heads with AM ones...
