    A lot of work to get each cooling fin mounted seperately, Spiros @fiveten
    Looks great.

    Also chain guard and swing arm assembled (the latter's port section was severely warped and I had to heat it with my wife's hairdryer, in order to force-straighten it...

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Good progress, Spiros @fiveten
    The swing arm looks perfectly straight after the heat treatment.

    Great work on the engine, Spiros @fiveten, the first bike I built, Tamiya’s 1/12 Honda RC166 GP racer had separate cooling fins as well. I sometimes use a hair dryer to encourage tricky transfers to conform

    Battery, air filter, engine main block and furl tank in various stages of assembly...

    ...the latter being ill fitting at the neck area, so liquefied styrene to the rescue!
    And here is more or less the progress so far... Thanks for stopping by!
