Thanks again guys,
I see it's been re-released, same tooling I bet rolf

Some of the dramas I had Rolling Eyes ;
Windscreen, be prepared for serious trimming,
Rear Axle, sits too far back,
Inner front guards, poor fit, bring out the clamps to make it sit right to the inside of the body!
Front and rear skirts, lots of trimming again,
Stance, well you just modify to suit your taste Wink
Oh did I mention all the flash Laughing

I have that kit, you did a great job on it. Your engine detail is spot on. The triple carbs look sharp, a lot of detail for a fiddly kit.

Thanks for sharing. looksgreat
