NigeG Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 My next project is a model of my wife's moped from when she was 16 in 1986 I'm more familiar with Tamiya kits and the quality that they offer, this is on another level, a lower level. Hopefully wont take to long to finish, made a start with a good clean up and I'm almost ready to start painting........ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Following with interest: I didn't know the kit existed. My mum had one of these too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the chrome, I bleached that to remove the coating. it is of very poor quality I’ll plod my way through it and move on. 😷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed you do, it was mine in 86, a mk 1 with a micron on it and the speedo would almost nudge 100 😬 that yellow wheel is my rd350LC missing a front disc, 350 had twin discs. ive moved on since those days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veg Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I’ll try and post some pics it was in practical sports bikes magazine 18 months ago. It’s a 350 with half a tz700 top end carbon body work the black is carbon and loads of other extras. The Lc world is massive now but I’ve been a believer since the 80’s. Along with my Ducati’s. anyway sorry for the thread hijack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigeG Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Got a bit more done, mainly painting, main body/frame bonded together and filled. I had to fit the stand and rear wheel to join the 2 halves so plenty of masking needed for the final red coat. its starting to look like a moped now... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigeG Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 I've managed to force myself back onto this and try and get it over the line. Back in the body shop for more priming ready for the creamy plastic colour, which I think I've made to creamy. A few more bit and piece's ready for fitting.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
