Harley Davidson FLH Classic

Hi everybody..
i'm working on an old Academy kit found in a little suburbs workshop..
the kit is not as perfect as a tamiya one but although it is 20 years old, the detail is remarkable.

i started with the mythical engine, working around the cooling fins of the cylinders, cutting off the mould lines and improving the detail.
Also I scratched two new collectors changing the position and the angulation.

then i started the frame.. i've assembled every single part and added the rivets on the heads of the engine. rivets has benn obtained by means of nails turned on my dremel and engraved superficially to reproducing the screws.

so I scratchbuilt a pair of rear shock absorbers by means of brass, plasticard and a steel wire.
I also post the photo of the project paper:grinyes:

I then heavily modified the seat by means of two-component filler and plasticard.

after i scratchbuilt the exhaust system using a 4mm tube of plasticard and a flame.
i think to realise a cannon silencer and not a "fish tail" silencer such as the original, so i'll do a customization of the model..but it is worth it

Nice job!
Exhaust looks great!

Interesting project !!

Thanks everybody!

I spent these days painting the frame, the swingarm, the engine and the wheels.

I used Acrylic black color, MM Metalizer Magnesium and Alclad Chrome.
Instead for wheels I used a drawing tool for masking the tyres and I spayed acrylic white, creating the white stripes..:rofl:

i spent last afternoon to scratchbuild a couple of new brake-clutch lever using two squares of plasticard and two photos of the levers.
i glued the scaled photos on plasticard and I started to cut the excess of plasticard.
then i've finished with files and sand paper.

the last passage is the munting on the handle-bar by means of a 0.7mm steel wire.

So the levers are functioning, but i must find the method to permit the auto-return of the levers-self.:loser:

after the levers, i modified the oil serb and the battery with his chromed-cover.
the parts of the kit were too different from the original bike.
I re-shaped the serb and scratch the battery (which can't see at the finish) and I painted them with gloss black.
So i masked and sprayed the alclad chrome reproducing the shine effect:)
I also added some cables on the two parts to improving the detail of the entire bike.

I've also done the brake calipers, painted with MM metalizer.

I am not a big fan of Harleys but I must admit this is one amazing model. The engine, the carb, the levers!... And great choice of bike colour. Keep us posted :)

thank you Ridefast!! the bike colour is a particular sequence of layers, starting with primer, gloss black, ts-39 (mica red) and ts-13.
it's a real existing color of harley used mainly on the touring bike..:p

Nice progress - did you take real wood? what are the tiles made of?

Nice progress - did you take real wood? what are the tiles made of?

Yes, I used real wood taken from an old wood fruit box.. But the original wood was really clear, so I painted it with acrylic brown.

The tiles are made up of cardboard.. They were cutted 2x1cm and glued one at a time using "vinavil".
So I've painted them with the same color of the wood and then shaded with light-tone and dark-tone of color.

At the end I passed a layer of dark gray to compact the color and recreate the shade of slate

Thanks for the info

Today I've done the base of teh dio.
I've simulated the asphalt and the desert sand using.... real sand.. simple!
Also I've scratched the bush using an old brush and then i've painted all the dioramausing airbrush and different tones of color.

I like it, especially the buzzin' hornets logos! ;)

These days I've painted the gas pump, I applied decals and I made the dirt on it.

This is great. What more can be said.

It's GREAT indeed.

By looking at those snaps and a detailing about every part it's very hard for me to believe that the bike is of too small in size as that of the normal bike.
