Italari 1/9 Triumph 3HW

[kpnuts]

Hi all here is the next victim to my bench I'm sure you all know me well enough to know it will be nothing like the box art.



Glued the tank halves together and made a start on the engine (detail is very crisp) but you need to cut the locating pins off as if you use them the parts dont align up very well (which is strange as once you've cut the pins off they align up perfectly)

Hi all more progress on this frame painted Ford squeeze green planing on doing the tank and panels yellow with white wheels, but that could all change.

Another interesting project from your bench KP. Nice work there on the engine. The green frame and yellow tins would will look on this subject but white wheels? Not sure about that but whatever you choose we know it's going to be a superb build. Thanks for posting.

More progress on this

Another update, I decided not to go with white wheels and decided to go with the frame colour also added some of the cables and the carb (dont like the cables far too shiny need to dull them down some how) I really love how the spokes are moulded, some of the best I've ever seen.

Hi all more work on this.

Hi all work on the front forks, it's quite a complex system, bit like the dampers on older cars(did something similar on the mefistofeles) 

[fordrodnkustom]

Excellent work. I like all the intricate detail shown here.

More done to this (front wheel is only added for a look see, lots more to do before its finally added.

Looking good KP! Almost ready to throw a leg over and motor through the country side with maybe a stop at a cafe!

Great job so far and I really like the colors you've chosen !

Finally finished, I'm quite pleased with the result.

Looks great KP. I like all the realistic details you added, especially the "worn" seats. Very well done.
