Build #2 for me this year.
I brought 2 Aoshima Monkey kits last year as a friend was restoring his bike and I saw them on Hobby Search and the price was right lol ($10) Funnily enough, I saw some of these kits for sale at my local hobby store (not Takegawa) for 6 times the price I paid. Man, I laughed.
Anyhoo, pics
The small box and contents.
Then the mandatory chrome removal.
I then removed the knobs off the tires and sanded to make them look like slicks.
I modified the handle bars.
And started painting with Alclad.
More to come.
Cheers
