This one is based on the R/M "Aces Wild" Kustom Chopper...
Paint is flat black Testors..

The engine represents the 'Evolution" 2 V-Twin... I dullcoated the assy, flowed thinned flatblack paint into the fins on the cylinders & heads, painted the lowerend semi glos balck, & ran plug wires...The only thing I left chrome were the rocker covers & pushrod tubes....

Here's he mockup of the forks/brakes/handlebar assy. .... I still have to run the clutch & throttle cables...

Stay tuned & thanks for lookin!!!! ;D

Thanks guys!!!! ;D Unfortuantely, these are rare in my neck of the woods.... Eventualyy I do plan on building another one based on the same kit but with the pullback handlebars from the "Crusader" & use the drag bars, & the shotgun pipes I got in a trade on the Crusader frame.... ;D
