Mark Thanks Mark  the kit isn`t bad few sink marks here and there but nothing serious and a few details missing but will address those, One thing though no part numbers on the sprues  so have to double check each part Regards Phil COMING SOON =1/72 Italeri diorama`s Battle for the Reichstag and Stalingrad battle at the tractor factory 1/16 Trumpeter King Tiger with loads of extras ON THE GO= refurbishment of 1/25 Tamiya tiger 1 , amt Star trek kits and space 1999 models

Excellent work so far Phil, that replacement wooden floor is a definite improvement over the kit part and much more in scale with the rest of the model. I've looked at these Italeri 1:9 motorcycle kits several times in the past and in particular this very same kit so I'm eager to watch and see how well it goes together. It's looking great so far.
Well done.
