*IMAI 1/12 HarleyDavidson

This is the second motorcycle model.
This time, I made a HarleyDavidson.
I love Harley, especially vintage Harley Knucklehead.　

Harley's materials are abundant, so we will add details based on those abundant materials.
There are as many custom Harley's as there are stars, but I think that custom is a feature of Harley's motorcycle.
I like the bobber type, so this kit will also be the bobber type.
Harleys are characterized by the shape of their heads. This kit is an Evolution, Blockhead and was produced at the same time as the Softtail.
It is a mid80s head next to flats, knuckles, pan, and shovels, but I made it vintage with the knuckle head in mind.

Engine
This kit captures the hallmarks of a Harley, but omits a lot.
Added hoses, wires, bolts, carburetors, unknown parts found on the net, caps, brake parts, etc.
Especially since the carburetor was only a stick, I used the Bendix that fits this EVO as a reference.

Frame
Added weld marks to the frame.

Wheel
The front wheels are spokes.
I used 0.4mm stainless steel wire.
If you use a pipe with a diameter of 0.4 mm, the nipple will be thicker, so the thickness of the paint will represent the nipple.
Carefully drill a hole in the hub, score the rim and glue the stainless wire.
The trick is not to stop in the middle.

Front fork
Since the inner fork is a little thin, replace it with a 2.6φ aluminum pipe.

Rear wheel
It's a belt drive.
I reproduced the teeth of the belt wheel, but when I assembled it, I couldn't see it at all.

Changes from kit
Rear fender, seat and muffler.

Painting
Paint the tank in dark red and the fender in white d for weathering.
For paint peeling on the tank, wash with enamel or weathering color based on lacquer hull red → silver, blow metal primer, apply lacquer, and rub with tissue or cotton swab.

Motorcycle lifter
I used a Motorcycle lifter I found on Pinterest as a reference.
I made it work.
I enjoy building a motorcycle garage because just looking at it heals me.

Next is 1/9 HarleyDavidson.
It's a Harley again, but I'll make it cool, so let's meet again!

Thank you very much.
