Italeri WLA 750 1:9 scale

Nice build Dash!  If you had taken a pic of it outdoors, I would have sworn it was 1/1. Back in the '60s, I bought two 1/1 WLAs from Army surplus. I didn't know anything about them so I had a friend build 1 of them for me and I kept the other one for spare parts(never needed them). My friend was really "upset" with me because all the parts were packed in cosmolene and were a mess to clean up. He did a great job though and it was a great ride. Wish I still had them now. I hear that they are worth quite a bit.

P.S. The only parts that were missing were the Thompsons.

Hello Dash!

Your Harley is lookin' really good! Makes me think maybe it would be a good idea to build one like that for my pops - he used to ride this style of bike (an Indian!) in the seventies...

Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

Thank you very much for the comments Fox ! Awesome you owned
piece of history like that ! Interesting some of the net photos showed them being put and their side and used for cover. Also I learned a lot about the history of that gun.
