Hello!
To accompany on its base one of the 32 plane models I'm working on, here's a wonderful realization from CopperStateModel with this superb looking motorcycle
the rider's figure was already painted few days ago.
The set arrives in 8 sub-sets, fully unstuck and stored individually in poor little plastic bags.
Given the masterly workmanship, one wonders how there were no breakages during transport... I only had to glue one of the pedals back together, broken into two parts.
A word of advice: take the parts very carefully out of their bag and check that there are no micro-parts lying around :D

Once assembled, the model is a pleasure to paint, and the result is quite stunning: no additions, the kit out of the box:
I'm thinking of hollowing out the headlight to insert a bulb and attach a glass pane, then applying a coat of matt varnish after a light patina.
A real assembly pleasure that took me no more than four hours.
