[CopperStateModel) Wanderer 4hp 2-cyl 1916 Model 1/32
« on: December 15, 2024, 12:47:18 AM »
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.

A+
