thank you very much for the comments guys, they are much appreciated and drive me forward with this little kit
So far I'm very happy with Aviattic's kit, as I said before I was thinking that it will be too hard to build for someone as inexperienced with resin as me, but it is not hard, just looks so and really fits perfectly......once you find out which part goes where!
Here is the only downside with this kit - the instruction. It is of two parts, a colour leaflet with pictures of few P&M bikes, both archive and modern ones, which are very helpfull. The second part is black and white and is the actual build instruction and this is the one I find lacking, it just makes perfectly clear to everyone that knows the project by heart, but not for someone that just got it!
First, there is no breakdown of the parts, this may seems useless for injection molded kits, but for resin ones I think it is important. I was able to damage some parts, cutting them into pieces, thinking that something is flash, but later on finding that it was a part of the part
Second, there is no clear understanding what goes
exactly where. I see that a particular part should go "there", but not sure where exactly. The key word here is
exactly, this applies especially for the engine and the gimmicks around it. For example, last night I glued the exhaust (if tis is the exhaust) 4 times to where I think the part should go, but it was wrong all the time, broke two already glued parts and finally gave up and left it for today, should have done it after the first unsuccesfull attempt
Third - A small diagram showing the fuel lines and the brake lines would have been absolutely great for those, that would like to add them!
This by any means should not stop you from byuing or building the kit - it is little gem, really! Just a friendly constructive criticism to Richard for his next projects, the instruction should be written in such way, so any idiot (like myself for example) to be able to understand it!
As usually any comments, constructive criticism or questions are most welcome!
