Derek A Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 This is the Italeri 1/9 scale WLA, It's a nice enough kit, but handle it gently, I found it to be a bit fragile, even for a model! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hoffmanly Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Beautifully done. The leather and the thompson stock are amazingly done. Great Job Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill.B Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Lovely job! BTW, if you didn’t already know, the Donnington Collection (at the race track) near Derby have 6 of these HD’s on show, all in beautiful condition. Ideal for build detail pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Good job. I wish they would amend the instructions , the spark plug wires start at the coil which is the small rectangular box behind the air clearner , in case you want to amend the model. Also the point housing needs to be turned so that the pin sticking up can be hooked into the 'c' shaped part in front of it , this is the advance set up worked from the left twist grip.

krow113 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 The weirdest thing is that though diligent research , parts manuals , service manuals ,, reference pics from others , my own reference pics of a cool Canadian bike with a snorkel ,and 20 years working in a Harley shop , I cant find a single line or pic or even an idea as to what the small cylindrical item is on top of the generator at the front of the engine , where they have the plug wires emanate. Prolly because: IT DOES NOT EXIST! The actual coil supplied in the model has some handy points for the wires to go on , jus' sayin. DID not mean to detract from the great model shown here . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps! Edited December 1, 2017 by Derek A Correction 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware though, anywhere it is supposed to 'work' has a nasty tendancy to be delicate, particularly the front wheel hub and suspension! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
