Heller 1/8 Kwak Z1

Hi all well this kit is deffo going to be a challenge the frame is full of sink holes and seams also the tank and side panels are moulded in two halves have no locating pins and are warped to hell.
I have glued some tabs to one half and am hoping that the wont foul on anything when it comes to putting it on, and also that it will help with lining everything up, fingers crossed.

cool so far.  i only know the kwaka from the Mad Max movies. (1000z)

Hi all well this is the most twisted piece of model I have ever worked on.

I was wondering if I would be able to get it ligned up at all
But after Hurculean efforts

there are no decals in this kit for the paint work, instead there are these handy moulded lines

Handy that is if you want to do it as the box art, not if you want something diffrent so I had so sand all those off.

now to try the marbeling

Hi all finished the marbeling, and I have to say I am quite happy with it, it needs a few coats of varnish to level it out and finish it off but for a first go at it I am happy, I can see me using this a lot

Hi all here is tonight offering

Hi all here is another update on this pig of a kit, it really is no where near the quality of the La Reale the chain is so warped I'm not even going to try to correct it the axles are not going to allow the wheels to rotate and even if they did it wouldnt last long, Why cant kit manufacturers get together and combine all the good thing they all do, then we would end up with fantastic kits.
I really hope the CB 750 K1  is not the same as this.

Whoa There Dude !

    You are amazing the daylights out of me with this Kick Butt paint treatment . Right On !

Hi all here is the battles progress so far

Hi all nearing the end I think the kit has given in. dare I say i'm winning.

Hi all well she's finished and no more incidents.

That turned out really nice.  Stellar paint job !  My hat off to you Sir.
