Taking a break from my proposed mech builds, I decide that I'd do something different like an out of the box motorcycle.
I haven't done a motorcycle in a while, the last a Ducati NCR racer that I gave a bit of cafe' racer treatment to. Boy was that fun.
Anyway, I thought that a more sedate out of the box build would be great. How mistaken was I...
The new kits are quite nice, but I was sorely disappointed with the decal screw heads, what happened to the nicely moulded bolts head that are normally evident on the fairings. Decals are sacrilegious!
This started down me down the rabbit hole...
After researching the screw heads at your usual suspects, which turned out to as rare as chickens teeth, I discover some other aftermarket products that perked my interest.
So contrary to my initial decision, I am now the proud owner of after market products for my build and simultaneously solved my fairing screw head dilemma.
Starting the build, the old engine looked as complex as a lawn mower engine in comparison.
Till next time, my thoughts go out to the people of Ukraine.
