That working chain looks really good. Your wheels look really nice as well. Looking at your parts pictures there seemed to be more spoke pieces than you would use just for 2 wheels. Are they alternative parts were you have the option to use one or other? It looks from the parts that you could make 4 wheels. Happy Modelling

It looks from the parts that you could make 4 wheels. The parts that are in the photos are all used to construct the model. There are no two parts in the kit.

Malc. The chain is pressed and very compact.

That looks as real as it possible could be without being the real bike. You have to give credit to Tamiya for the amount of detail they add to their models. You have done a very neat job in building the chain for your bike. Hope it all continues to go well. Happy Modelling

The front fork is completed, still painted with four screws on the glasses on the wheel axle bolts and ready to be seated on the frame. All plastics and saddle are in basic, one-color spray. At the saddle, I sharpened the base color to distinguish between the carpeting plastics and the leatherette liner. It's so on original machines. Next time, I'll be doing blackjack on both the saddle and the bonnet and decal.
