    Someone had commented that the bike would be nest displayed without the fairings etc etc
    It wasn't possible to display this bike so I took the parts for the other kit, and started another, this one will not have the fairings etc etc

    As i was assembling this i realized the battery case was missing :/. So I took the batter out of the other one as it was hidden anyway. I also discovered 2 tubes for the front forks were also missing. I was about to sacrifice a scanner antenna when I found a tube of Evergreen plastic that was almost perfect diameter! Yaaaay me. So I cut it to length and painted.

    Here is where I’m at now. I wont show and more progress pics because you seen them all from the other bike. I will post the complete one in a few days

    Nothing short of amazing Cricket .(@bikequeen). Your builds and photos are professional. Not to mention your scale hand model. Its all good. Good modeling therapy and some real model eye candy. Keep up the good work.

    Third time is a charm!

    This is the third turbo engine i have built, the first 2 turbo tires were a night mare, this time i nailed it. Still have some detailing and touch up to do but they all fit perfectly, i used a different approach.

    Third time lucky, Cricket @bikequeen, but Ithink more skill and experience than luck.

    @chinesegeorge @fiveten @johnb thank you guys! Knowing the pitfalls of the first 2, i studied all the pieces, test fit repeatedly and did everything in reverse of what the instructions said : )
