    Fantastic bike, @kalamazoo, with a great history, and I remember those original Protar kits, when you opened the box the contents resembled black spaghetti, never did buy one, but they had a fantastic range. Looking forward to following your progress.

    Nice progress, my friend @kalamazoo!
    Let's hope Italeri will reissue (and, why not, even refine) all Protar molds. Oh, yes! And Italeri to be gentle with the prices 🙂

    Hi @kalamazoo and @fiveten, if these were ever released again I could definitely go for the Matchless and the Norton. Many years ago I worked with a lady whose husband was a motorcycle enthusiast, they had a son called Norton. Happy modelling.
