Most of the wrighting on the box is not in English which isn't a problem but the same is true of the intructions. The paint call outs don't seem to have the usual XF numbers ( unless it's in Jap lettering) so what colors are right?

The bike it's self is real good the figures are stinkers it was worh a $1.80
that I paid great models webstore.

Anybody know what colors this hog takes yeah I know ... Olive drab.

Thanks

If you do a search on Harleys, you should be able to come up with picures or restaorations or originals.
I checked the box in my stash, it, too, is in Japanese. The price sticker is still on it, $1.75, marked down from $3.49.

Basically OD and Black, with some metal on the engine parts. Frame, tank, fenders, shield, and any other bodywork is OD. Engine is flat black and shades of bare metal. Seat, sadllebags, and weapons holder are brown leather. Flat black for rubber parts such as hand grips, foot rests, and tires as well.

Here is a restored one to get some ideas from:
