Airfix Ariel Arrow

Hi guys,

i just finished this very old kit from the 70's. It's an Airfix Ariel Arrow. I got two of these kits from a friend of my father. I could keep one if I build the other for him, so I build it exactly like his bike he owned a few years ago.

Paint is Porsche Creme white with a mixed up gold paint.

The detail wasn't very good, but I was suprised by the pretty good fittment. I've seen modern AMT kits that are much worser. I like the overall result and I think the new owner will like it also :D

That has come out very well. Its nice to see these old kits being built. Usually they are passed over for the latest offerings.

I have never seen one of these built before. I'm not surprised there isn't much detail, it's a very old kit now, but you've done a great job and the colour scheme really works. I'm tempted to try and find one of these kits now.

Never heard of Ariel Arrow bike before and never saw this kit before, but it's very nice to see so original and rare model being built !

This is a new one on me!! I love it!! Those colors work well with it!!

That is a nice build, I like the colours you chose. Did not know this kit existed, have to do some research now. What scale is it?

Thanks mate. The scale is 1/16. A common scale for motorbikes nany years ago.

If someone is searching for this kit. I have another one still factory sealed from the early 80's if i remember correctly.
