I feel ya Travis @Apache26, I spent at least a couple hours just cleaning up the engine cage, the mold seams on that frail little bugger were exhausting.
Like you progress so far the PE will make it sparkle!

Sorry to hear that you are sick, Travis, but hopefully you can get a lot done while you are off.

It is frustrating how a kit that should be a refreshingly easy build turns out to be something that requires a lot of extra work because the kit is not the greatest. I’m glad you were able to get ahold of the PE for the kit. I am sure you will make it look good and I look forward to seeing the diorama you are placing it in.

Hi guys,
Here’s a little more work on the Lambro 550. :hammer_and_wrench:

Tweezer weight-n-wedges are keeping the spine in alignment for overnight curing. The front steering yoke and wheel assembly crapped-out earlier-on — no surprise there. It’ll need to be reattached when handling is a little more stable.


Steps 5-10

Skipping around in the instructions a bit. The engine, handlebar, etc. are assembled and are set aside. Also, I’m omitting clear and other parts for handling purposes.

Tis a jinky little bugger! :sweat_smile:

Taxi!

so finished putting on the small bits and applied the primer coat should have some paint and decals soon. May also try some mild weathering.
