the kit was built straight from the box (customer requirement),and was built up over a few nights,
all the painting was done with humbrol enamels and tam acrylics.the engine was hand painted along with a few smaller parts manly with humbrols , the side car , mud gaurds and tank where airbrushed with tam acrylics , mix of black X1 and white XF2 about a 60% black to 40% white then thinned with tam thinners to run through my ab .
for the rusty bits i used mig rust with a black wash to tone it down here and there and tam flat earth airbrushed , and to finnish migs european earth to dust ,,, comments must welcome as always ,, thanks for looking...

thanks to everyone who has looked but would like comments aswell ,,, cheers

Hi Ian,

A fine, clean, sharp build. I noticed no seams, sink holes, mold marks, nicks, glue slops, or paint flaws. The dirt and grime in the sidecar is well done.

Weathering theories are mainly subjective, but I think a big model with such a wealth of detail begs for a bit of weathering. Your weathering is otherwise minimalist--can't blame you for not want to dirty up such a good looking finish. A wash--light or strong--would enhance the details of the brackets and nut & bolt details.

Ian

for a 1:9 scale model this one has a long way to go before it can be called a great model.

needs detailing in many areas, including pin washes to bring out the detail;
paint overspray on the the rear tyre behind the battery case is poor:
orange peel on paint work:
exhaust pipe does not rust at the heads, this area of the pipework invariably shows a blue tinge caused by the exhaust heat;
leather saddle on this machine was black, not brown;
plus many other detail areas that could receive some attention to bring out the detail on this great kit.

have fun
Bernard
