A little more progress, the windscreens were a shocking fit so will have to come up with a fix for that. The front wheel hubs have alot of play on them, or I've just mucked it up when fitting them. Pantherman

Did you strip and repaint the chrome? If so what chrome did you use?
BTW. This is looking nice.

So far the chrome parts are off the sprue but the large fuel tanks will need cleaning along the joint line so I will probably have to strip those, assemble them, clean them and then respray in chrome. Pantherman

Looking good. I decided to clean and repaint the chrome parts on the engine as I just couldn't get them as clean as I wanted. Pantherman

As for the chrome, I'll be give those parts a bleach bath and repaint.

I had a devil of a job stripping the chrome when I did this kit. The usual bleach just didn't work for me so I hope you have better luck (or better bleach )
