As promised here are another 2 big Tamiya 1.6 scale Harley Davidson's.
The first one is an FLH1200 Police bike, and the secon is an FLSTF Fatboy.
Again, I apologise for the lack of building pics.

They look great - that police version looks ace. Dare I ask if you got the Fatboy for a fair price? Never seen it in the UK for sensible money so far.:eek:

Hope you don't mind me posting this here but I thought it might amuse you. Started mine as a simple OOB job but then thought it would be nice to replace some of those small Tamiya philips screws. Then I thought it would be fun to do the engine case bolts too. It's turned into yet more milling practice for me and will no doubt be another kit that never gets finished!:lol2:

I hope you do finish it. I would love to see it with those lovely extras added.
My only gripe with the Police bike was the lack of decals.
I have seen Police Harley's in films etc. and they all seem to have different "artwork" for different precincts. Especially on the fuel tanks.
In all honesty, I can't remember how much I paid for the Fatboy, but I do know I bought it from a Hong Kong dealer on eBay for a good price.
Actually, I got the Police bike for 30 quid, because a couple of bits had been started, so I was very happy with that.
Good Luck with the build

Your 1:6 models look great, you should make some outdoor pics, which will make it harder to say, if it is a model or a real bike
